Bockstens mosse

In 1936, the body of a man from the Middle Ages was discovered in Bocksten's peat bog. The man was named Bockstensmannen and is northern Europe's most spectacular medieval find. His clothes had been preserved in the bog for over 500 years. The Bocksten man himself along with his preserved clothes are on exhibition at Halland's Cultural History Museum. It can be an interesting excursion to head out to Bocksten’s Moss to first-hand witness where the body was discovered and when you’re there, spare a thought about who he was and how he ended up there.
