Nibba Standing Stone
Nibba Standing Stone submitted by kenntha88 : Site in Sogn og Fjordane Norway (Vote or comment on this photo)
This small standing stone has one of the most beautiful ambiences ive seen so far! It is located on a small land outcrop overlooking the Oppstryn Lake, only a few metress away from the shore. VIt is a very beautiful view over the lake and the surrounding mountains.

The stone is located some metres west of a rest spot for tourists and it can be easily found.
The stone itself is around 1.70 metres in height and around 60-70cm wide and thick, it has a rectangular cross-section. It is tilting slightly to one side.
