Guddal Jøtulstaven

This impressive standing stone is around 4.5 metres tall and very slender. Width is around 1 metre at the base, but in a height of 1 metre the stone narrows and the width reduces to only around 0,3m.

It has a square-shaped cross section. The edges are sharp and rugged. It is slightly tilting to one side.
It is a located on a grassy river plain in Upper Stryn Valley. From the site there are beautiful views towards the mountains on each side.
A local myth tells of a giant troll walking across the valley. It had a walking staff and when it wanted to have a rest, it leaned on the staff. One piece broke-off and remained since then.
