Cairn in Østfold

At the highest point of Kjøkøya island is a very pretty Bronze Age burial cairn. From the cairn it is a beautiful view over the ocean in almost all directions. The terrain is mostly flat rock and rock outcrops with just a few small trees and the cairn is visible for far distances. From the main road it is a footpath leading up to the hill.

The cairn was mostly ruined but was restored in 1945. It has a diameter of 16 metres and a height of 2 metres.
