Step into the mystery of Sweden’s most iconic stone ship — guided by a real archaeologist.
High above the Baltic Sea, in the coastal village of Kåseberga, lies Ales stenar: a monumental stone formation that has fascinated and challenged visitors for generations.
This is not just a walk with an app.
You will explore the site together with an expert — while augmented reality reveals what is otherwise invisible.
Your guide is either Ylva, a PhD archaeologist, or Polgara, a storyteller — each offering a unique perspective as they lead you through the site and its hidden layers.
