4. The Kivik grave
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 100 reviews
In the eastern outskirts at Kivik you find the big bronze age cairn "Kiviksgraven" and Café Sågmöllan (sawmill). The 3 500-year-old bronze age mound hides a cist coved with petroglyphs. The images tell us about travel, both living and spiritual, rituals and ceremonies. They also show us musical instruments, clothing and objects. The cairn with its unique coffin, however, is not the oldest grave monument which stood here. When the cairn was built, an already 2,000 year old burial site, was torn down. The oldest grave discovery from a pit under the mound is actually 6,000 years! The youngest is from the late iron age, around 550 AD. You find the whole prehistoric Österlen in one place! On the property, you also find the oldest café in the area Café Sågmöllan. We are open May-September.
5. Atelje Ekberga Osterlen
Welcome to Atelje Ekberga Österlen, the home and studio of visual artist Ylva Molitor-Gardsell. You will find the Ekberga farm along the winding street in Sodra Mellby high above the old fishing village of Kivik. It is a harmonious rolling landscape with apple orchards and wineries just around the corner. The Ekberga farm, an epitome of the Scanian old style farm, dates back to the mid 1700'.
