Thanks! I agree, a really great site.

Now on the subject of old Danish boundaries, could you please have a
look at http://www.skaanskfremtid.dk/hist/graense.html , and tell us
what it's all about. As far as I can decipher the Danish, it's about
the old dkse boundary in the Middle Ages, when Scania was part of
Denmark. It looks like some (six) big stones, like the one on the
second picture, were integrated into the boundary demarcation, and
thus promoted to the status of boundary marker.
