Ship setting or solar calendar?
There are two differing theories about Ale’s stones’ purpose and construction period. State archaeologists suggest Ales stenar is a shipwreck from the Late Bronze Age (1000 - 500 BCE) or Late Iron Age (500 - 1000 CE), likely serving as a burial site.

• Ales Stenar - Conversely, some outside the scientific community argue Ale’s stone is a large solar calendar and sundial from the Bronze Age. Ale’s stone is aligned so the “bow” points to the sunset at the summer solstice in June, and the “stern” points to the sunrise at the winter solstice in December.
• Ales Stenar - Stones align with sunrises and sunsets
  The stones align with the sun’s rising and setting over a 30-day interval, viewed from the stone setting’s center. The Viking calendar began at the winter solstice around 23/12, with 360 days divided into 12 months of 30 days each. According to the solar calendar theory, this dates back to the Bronze Age when the stones were erected. Sunrises on 23/1, 22/2, 24/3, etc., align with a stone, considering the sun’s path shift since the Bronze Age and the 1.5 meters of sand deposited on the site, which altered the viewing perspective. The entire site is arranged according to the solar path for 11 months of 30 days each and one month of 35 days.
• Valleberga Kyrka - Constructed of limestone in the mid-12th century, it is the only known fortified round church in Scania. Master mason Carl Stenmästare also built churches on Bornholm, where round churches were common. The baptismal font, carved by the Romanesque artist Majestatis, depicts a legend about Saint Peter and Paul of Tarsus. The pulpit was crafted in 1619, and the altar cabinet dates to the early 16th century.

In 1791, the round church underwent significant alterations with extensions to the north, west, and south. These were demolished in 1908–1910 during restoration, and a large cathedral-like extension with a new tower was added to the west.

The journey begins with a trip across the stunning Øresund Bridge to Sweden, arriving in the picturesque county of Skåne, known for its gentle hills and quaint villages. The adventure continues along the Counts Road to Ystad, the setting for Henning Mankell’s fictional Detective Kurt Wallander. After exploring Ystad, the next stop is the coastal village of Kåsaberga, where the Sunship, a Bronze Age stone circle shaped like a ship, awaits. Who placed these stones there? Perhaps it’s a mystery for Kurt Wallander to solve.

The return journey to Copenhagen takes travelers back through Wallander Country, crossing the Øresund Bridge once more, a landmark made famous by the television series ‘The Bridge,’ and re-entering Denmark via the man-made island of Peberholm.
