Sigurd inscription, Runic stone carving in Sundbyholm, Sweden

Visitors reach the inscription by following marked paths from the main road near Sundbyholm, with information panels explaining the carved elements.

The inscription includes a snake-shaped runic text border that frames detailed scenes of Sigurd preparing the heart of Fafnir the dragon.
