Møllerstufossen Helleristninger submitted by kenntha88 : Another of the beautifully carved elks. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Just by a large river and a beautiful waterfall in very nice nature surroundings is a very well preserved rock art site. Signs on the main highway lead down to this very pretty rock art site.

This rock art is dated back to the later period of the early stone age (about 4000 to 5600BC). Thus making them almost 6000 years old.
The carvings mostly picture elks, but possibly also parts of beavers and otters. It is at carvings of at least 12 beautifully carved elks with lines and rings inside them.

The rock art site covers an area of about 20 square metres, and is easy to find. The carvings have been painted in later years to make them even more visible to visitors.
