The stone walls of Näs bear two ancient runic inscriptions, carved over a millennium ago. One side tells the story of brothers Lifstæinn (Lifsten) and Niklas, linked to the characters Jorund, Niklas, and Luden, all mentioned in the inscriptions. The other side whispers a separate enigma, fueling one of the oldest and most enduring legends in Uppland. Discovered in 1929, the runic inscriptions 347 and 348 are between six and ten centimeters high. They stand side by side on the rock wall in Näs, echoing through the ages.
