Ancient Nordic Vikings,ironage,Bronze burial site Gryet on Bornholm Offleash with GermanShepherd Rex.The name "Gryet" comes from the Old Norse " griut ", and means a "collection of stones".
67 bautasten in one place. The forest, Gryet, on Bornholm is unique with its many traces from the past. Here are burial mounds and ruts, but the most spectacular are the many monumental stones. The Iron Age people erected the monumental stones in memory of their dead. The burial site, which probably had 100 monumental stones, has been used in the period between the year 350 and the year 900.
Experience at Gryet
Ancient memories from several times. The site contains many different traces of the past. In the southern part is a clear burial mound, which is probably from the Bronze Age (1700 - 500 BC). There are also several row of stones - both one that goes through Gryet in an easterly and westerly direction and one that comes up from the south over a now covered bridge over Øle Å. The row of stones cannot be dated exactly, but they have probably existed for many hundreds of years.
Silent memorial stone. The memorial stones are set as memorials to the dead. They may have been erected as a mark over an elusive fire pit with the remains of a bonfire. They can also be set without a grave. Such an empty tomb is called a cenotaph, which means memorial to a person who died elsewhere. All the monumental stones have a flat side
Stone in a circle. Most stones are apparently in scattered order, but if you look closely you can see different groups. Perhaps the groups represent families. In a single place, it is clear that the stones stand in a circle. It is called a domarring and we have another one of these rings, namely in Hjortebakken only 3½ km west of Gryet. In the center of the stone rings is a fire pit.
A small forest with a special atmosphere. We do not know if there was forest or open land at Gryet when the burial ground was used. But close to the burial site, traces have been found of various settlements from the same period, so perhaps the burial ground has been used by several small communities and was located on the edge of the agricultural areas themselves.
