Standing Stone (Menhir) in Sogn og Fjordane
This beautiful slender standing stone is located 10 metres south of the highway going east-west through the small village of Stryn.

It is a beautiful standing stone, it is around 3.5m in height and is around 30 cm wide. It has a square-shaped cross-section. It is tilting slightly to one side. It is standing in a grassy field overlooking the river to the south.

Unfortunately when I visited the site there was some road works going on nearby and they had used the stone as a temporary pole for a power cable! It disturbs some of the great ambience of the site with view towards the nearby mountains and the river. The stone is visible from a distance.
