This small rock carving site is located on a rocky outcrop on the north side of the Glomma river. The rock outcrop is an area of flat rock surfaces going around 30 metres out into the river and is also a popular fishing spot.
Rock carvings close to the water edge are not uncommon. To find the place there is a footpath from a small parking lot where a bridge is crossing the river. The site has a information poster and is easy to find.
The figures here consist of two pair of footsole carvings, one elk or deer and one ship carving. The ship carving is a bit further on the path and I could not find it when visiting the site.
From the carving site there is a beautiful view over the Glomma river!
