Gryet

The archaeological site contains approximately 67 preserved standing stones scattered throughout a forest area near the town of Nexø.

Dating back to 1000 BCE, the stones marked graves during the Iron Age, with continued use through the Viking period until 900 CE.

The stones, arranged in distinct groups, indicate family or village burial practices where new graves respected existing burial locations.

Located 4 kilometers west of Nexø, the site remains open for visitors to examine the ancient stone arrangements and burial grounds.

The name Gryet originates from Old Norse Griut, meaning stone group, and represents Denmark's second largest collection of standing stones.
