Berga Hällristning form some of the 200 rock carving sites around Björksta. See the Megalithic Portal page for Björksta Church for a map of all the main sites nearby. This site at Berga is an interesting walk of discovery. The actual rock carvings are painted in red water based paint and you discover them as you wander along the circular trail over a distance of approximately 400 metres. There is a site sign at the car park and start of the trail and the GPS coordinates for this site are for the car park and site sign. I have given the GPS coordinates for each rock carving site that I located with each photo. Reference: Riksantikvarieämbetet Fornsök 88:1
