I don't think it's really worth driving there, quite nice if you come a long way

An interesting place and here you can fantasize about what it was like 5000 years ago. It has required organization and quite a lot of force to get the stones into place. The site is aligned with a unique procession route that archaeologists found a few km to the north and runs in the direction of Svedala. Around Skegriedösen is an open landscape and you can see far in all directions. Today's E6 between Trelleborg and Malmö runs right next to it with speeding cars in a different era.

Hard to say if this is anything, it probably depends on how you look at it. History is always exciting, but truth be told there's not much to see here. A few words on what you're looking at and the place itself. If you have a casual interest in the subject, I don't think this is worth going out of your way for, catch it if you happen to pass.

Beautiful burial ground, the individual megaliths are very impressive. Worth a visit, especially because of the size of the facility.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
