This site consists of a huge natural pyramid shaped boulder, about 6 metres tall and 10 metres wide. standing upright with a huge flat side to the east. In front of the east side it lies another boulder, low but flat. It is shapen as a huge natural-shaped table, about 4 metres across, and it has probably served as an altar for the Sami rituals.
The site is in a beautiful mountain leaf forest, and the landscape around is also beautiful!
When I was there, it was in late October and the winter's first snow had just started to fall, and the pics shows a beautiful early-winter scene.
