Description

This is a legendary site near Hölminge in Ljungby, Småland. The site lies in an open landscape by the road and settlements.

The story tells of a troll woman who lived in Pila kull. She helped a farmer’s wife by spinning flax.

As payment, she asked that the villagers should not grow flax, since trolls could not tolerate it. However, the villagers ignored her request and began to cultivate flax extensively.

The story reflects how everyday work and nature were connected to beliefs about trolls and other beings.

The site is part of the Land of Legends in Småland (Ljungby, Alvesta and Älmhult), recognized by UNESCO.

The Museum of Legends in Ljungby helps place such stories in a wider context.

The site is accessible by road and suitable for short visits.
