Höga Rör (Mörby)
The Hoga Rör is a Bronze Age cairn grave . It is located in a forest on Mount Mörby Backe, southwest of Mörby and west of Mjällby on the Listerland peninsula to the west of Blekinge in Sweden . Roses of the same name are located at Karlshamn in Blekinge and at Ljungby in Småland .
The Höga Rör is the only Röse (plur. Röser, Swedish Röjr or Roir ) from the Bronze Age (1500–500 BC ) on Listerland. All other burial mounds on the peninsula are mounds of earth.
This fact, coupled with the effort that went into creating the stone masses on the 50 meter high mountain, gives rise to speculation about the importance of the buried person. At the same time, there are legends and sagas surrounding the tomb, including that of a treasure hidden in the mountain, which is guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, and the story of a giantess who collected stones there to throw them at the church in Åhus, 40 kilometers away.
