| Domsteinane | Stone Circle | Norway | Rogaland | Visited | 8th Oct 2024 | 5 | 5 | 5 | The site was very impressing and puzzling, what was the purpose. We have never seen anything like this, unique in its sort. It is sighposted - next to a golfclub. And at the golfclub we habe seen some standing stones. | ||
| Vistehola | Cave or Rock Shelter | Norway | Rogaland | Visited | 8th Oct 2024 | 4 | 5 | 5 | We have visited the cave.
It was not easy to find it as the routeplanner got confused.It is at the road Goaveien.
I took these coordinates: 58.9872198, 5.5966682.
From the street, just take the deadend street for cars and it is also a bikepath. There are 3 parkingplaces for cars next to the cave ... Read More |

| Ausevik Rock Art | Rock Art | Norway | Sogn og Fjordane | Visited | 4th Oct 2024 | 4 | 4 | 5 | We habe visited this large site with rockpaintings. The bay area was very appealing, we could imagine this was a safe harbour to gather and live for our ancestors. The rock art was pretty hard to see, due to mosses and water, the colours have disappeared. But it was so great to be here. | ||
| Søfstadklubben | Rock Art | Norway | Møre og Romsdal | Visited | 26th Sep 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | An impressive area with those smooth rocks and astonishing paintings. Loved the valley. | ||
| Alnestrøya standing stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Norway | Møre og Romsdal | Visited | 24th Sep 2024 | 4 | 2 | 3 | The Menhir is still in the backyard of a house, on the hilltop, though some further in the street. Look for the house with red rooftiles.
The right coordinates of Alnestrøya are 62.29096N and 5.58206E.
It was a pity we could not come closer, not from the hill and not via the backyard.

| Skjonghelleren | Cave or Rock Shelter | Norway | Møre og Romsdal | Visited | 24th Sep 2024 | 2 | 3 | 3 | As it has rained the path was pretty wet. The stones were slippery. Unfortunately trees are growing before the entrance of the cave so the entrance is hard to see from half way up. But it was a challinging site, the rocks in front and the view on the bay/fjord. | ||
| Blimshaugen mound | Round Barrow(s) | Norway | Møre og Romsdal | Visited | 24th Sep 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The burial mounds are fenced, but you can enter. There is an information board that tells a dramatic story of a family burial 3/400AD. The view of the mounds over the sea / fjord is stunning. The entrance of some graves are still visible. | ||
| Sjøskardet standing stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Norway | Møre og Romsdal | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | There is a parking lot for both the menhir as the 300AD burial mounds and information. As the gate was closed we went over the fence. The rope of this megalithic area is too close to the menhir to make a nice picture. The menhir has a prominent overview over the bay (beach). | |||
| Synes standing stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Norway | Møre og Romsdal | Visited | 24th Sep 2024 | 4 | 3 | 4 | The right coordinates are 62.5516493 6.0506860 The menhir next to the F136 has a very nice overview over the land and fjord. It is the same road as the churches'. Unfortunately they were building and put the roadsign in front of the Menhir. | ||

| Alberite Dolmen | Chambered Tomb | Spain | Andalucía | Visited | 25th Feb 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The site was in good condition. The entrance, the fence, to the site was closed so you had to step over the side lower fence. That would be impossible with a wheelchair.
About the Dolmen, it is situated in a flat landscape and the shape is round hill and therefore peculiar in itself. Unfortunatel... Read More |
