Sagelv submitted by kenntha88 : The raindeer carving is visible in the middle of the picture. It had to be taken from a distance of about 10 metres because of the river. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This site of rock carvings consists of a single reindeer. It was originally two reindeers, but sadly one of them has been lost to corrotion.

The carving is of the same type as the ones at Valla and Leiknes. It is ground into the rock and not carved as most of the rock carvings in scandinavia and the world! It is believed to be from the early stone age, about 6000-8000 BC!

The carving itself is beautful, it is made of one single line, and picture the raindeer in a "running" position, it is the only carving picturing a moving animal of the rock carvings of this type!

The site is close to the European road nmb6, and is easy to find. Sign posts are placed along the road and a small footpath is leading to the site. It is on a rock side going straight into a small river, so the carving has to be seen and photographed from the other side of the small river.
