Vandring
The literal and figurative highlight of the park is the Monolithen ("Monolith"), a 14m high pillar at the highest point of the park and a monster production for which 3 stonemasons worked daily for 14 years under the supervision of Vigeland. Carved from a single, solid block of granite, the 121 figures appear to climb towards the sky, one on top of the other, as a metaphor for human longings for the divine and spiritual.

Vandring
The Monolith is a 17-meter tall granite column featuring 121 intertwined human figures, carved from a single 280-ton stone block and completed in 1943 as part of Gustav Vigeland's sculpture park in Oslo's Frogner Park. The massive granite block was quarried near the Swedish border in 1922 and transported to Oslo by barge, where three master stone carvers worked for 14 years to transform Vigeland's vision into reality. The sculpture stands at the highest point of the park, surrounded by 36 granite figure groups arranged on circular steps.
