Uppsa kulle

The burial mound measures 55 meters in diameter and rises 9 meters above ground, making it the largest burial mound in Södermanland province.

The site dates back to the Iron Age and contains three mounds along with three round stone settings arranged in a north-south direction over 150 meters.

Local traditions link the burial mound to Östen Adilsson, who according to historical records died around 550 CE in the waters of Bråviken.

Visitors can access the site through a gravel road leading to a parking area with wind shelters and rest facilities next to the mound.

Despite its archaeological importance, the mound remains unexcavated, preserving potential historical artifacts and maintaining its original Iron Age structure.
