Border between Sweden and Denmark pre 1658

by larserik1 - last update: Feb 21, 2005

The old 'Snapphane areas' where bloody battles were fought between Sweden and Denmark before 1658. After that Scania belongs to Sweden. These forests are sparesly inhabited and the people have made it easy for the postman by putting all postboxes at one place. It is a rather common thing in the countryside in Sweden in fact.
