Jarlabankes bro, Historical bridge in Täby Municipality, Sweden
The 116-meter long stone causeway features four runestones and multiple raised stones placed along both sides of its 6.4-meter wide path.
During the 11th century, a chieftain named Jarlabanke Ingefastsson ordered the construction of this bridge and commissioned twenty runestones in the area.
The bridge serves as an entrance to Runriket, a region containing the largest concentration of Viking Age runic inscriptions in the world.
Visitors can reach the site by taking a bus from Danderyd Hospital to the Jarlabankes bro stop or using the Roslagsbanan train service.
The runestones at each end of the bridge contain inscriptions stating that Jarlabanke built this structure while alive and owned all of Täby.
