Mount Omberg and Alvastra Monastery


Headed south this morning, toward Mount Omberg, which borders Lake Vattern.  Some extraordinary scenery.



Then a very fine lunch at a hotel on the mountain.


But the highlight of the day was the ruins of Alvastra Monastery, built in the twelfth century on the inland side of Omberg.
