For those who have some spare time, feel like walking and have interest in runestones, there's a 2 km walk to Gillberga runestone (and another 2 km back). The route is northeast from the train station through areas of residential homes until reaching the limits of the locality. There's a wooden walkway and bridge over the marsh and river, respectively. The Gillberga runestone is located by the road beyond the first farm after the bridge. In English the inscription reads "Ráðulfr and Fundinn and Ǫnundr, the brothers erected this stone in memory of Kári the Eloquent, their father, the son of Uggr of Svanabýr."
