In the Østfold region near the border with Sweden is the route 110 between Skjeberg and Fredrikstad known as "The Prehistoric Road" (Oldtidsveien) due to the large number of ancient sites along the route.
It is particularly rich in rock art and an English language booklet The Rock Carving Tour, Østfold gives details of all the sites including the non rock art ones. The route can conveniently be added to the Swedish sites covered in the more extensive Rock Carving Tour, Bohuslän (English booklet also available). All these sites are well-signposted with parking and interpretation boards.
The first site on the Østfold tour is Solberg with its two splendid panels of rockart.
