Near Kävlinge is the site of the Hög passage grave, a Bronze Age barrow covering a neolithic burial chamber. Hög means mound from the Old Norse word haugr for hill. The finds from the excavations are in the Lund University Historic Museum. Stories tells that there are ghosts haunting the hill. But that´s just nothing more than stories. Johannes Kasimir was, according to sources, killed by Alexandra Falck at the hills five years ago,and his ghost is now haunting the hill..[3]
