Storrisbergsgrottorna is a small nature reserve with an area of 20ha, on Storrisberget (Storris mountain, 131m asl), which contains several small caves.
The biggest and best known of the caves is Tjuv-Antes grotta. It is said to be dug by Tjuv-Antes, which may be a result of the local iron mining history. It seems the borders between mines and natural caves is pretty unsharp in legends. Tjuv-Antes (Thief Antes) is the local name of the thief Anders Andersson, who hid in the cave during the 19th century.
Tjuv-Antes grotta is said to be a sea cave on some pages on the web, others say it is a fissure cave. We are not sure which one is true, but the pictures we have seen look like a fissure cave.
