Description
The small islet in the middle of Tängvattnet outside Rönäs village is described in Egil Skallagrimson's saga. According to this, King Torulf Kveldulfson, from Norwegian Hågoland on the coast, would have traded with the Sami on this islet as early as 880 AD.
Things, tax collection and trade with the Sami were probably carried out here for almost 900 years.From Tingsholmen you have a fantastic view, especially over Oxtindarna. A stone ring still reminds us of the old courthouse. However, the 2.5 meter high egg-shaped granite judge's stone was blown up in 1933 and used to build the bridge over Ruttjebäcken. There are also two old Sami graves on the island, as well as the remains of a hut and a fishing hut.
