Standing Stone (Menhir) and barrow cemetary near Bodø in Norway
This beautiful standing stone is situated in a small valley running north-west to south-east between two very steep mountain sides. This wonderful landscape adds to sites great ambience. It is next to the coastal highway running from Bodø to Steinkjer, which is a very popular route for tourists visiting Norway.
The stone is about 3 metres tall, about 70cm broad and just 10cm wide, making it a slender appearance. It is still standing straight and does not tilt to any side. It is located on top of a small burial mound, three more low burial mounds are known to have been in the area around the stone, but have later been destroyed during the construction of the highway and some nearby houses.
