It consists of two reindeer in almost full-size, several smaller animals, some complete, some only fragments remains, and also some strange zig-zag shaped lines.
The carvings are not been hacked or grinded into the rock, but they seem to have been cut into the rock by a sharp instrument, almost like a cut in wood. They are very deep and the cut is almost perfect V-shaped, into a almost vertical cliff side.
The site has been made easy to access, a parking spot has been made, and signposts have been put up to show the path that leads to the carvings. It is well-worth a visit.
This site with the very funny name in English is a site with stone age rock carvings. The name means something like tilting terrain in Norwegian.
Note: Norwegian petroglyphs found beneath burial mounds close by, details in comment
