A stone labyrinth at Grisslehamn on the Uppland coast — the traditional ferry crossing point to the Åland Islands, used since the 17th century as a postal route between Sweden and Finland. The Roslagen coast, whose name may derive from the Old Norse for 'rowing' — the same root as 'Rus,' the name given to Swedish Vikings in the east — was the departure zone for Varangian expeditions to Byzantium. At Giza bearing 348.17°, 3,474 km from the Great Pyramid, Grisslehamn anchors the Swedish mainland end of the Baltic labyrinth bridge to Finland.
