Here at Hafrsfjord is the royal monument Sverd i fjell (Swords in the Rock). History tells that Harald Fairhair united Norway into a kingdom here in 872. If the tradition is correct, Harald I received the nickname Fairhair because he only had his hair and beard cut again after defeating the other rulers. The monument consists of three swords stuck in the ground, symbolizing peace, unity, and freedom. The hilts of the Viking swords are modeled after sword finds from various parts of Norway. The monument was designed by Fritz Røed (1928-2002) and inaugurated by King Olav in 1983. (Height of the middle sword = 9.2 m) Source: www.visitnorway.de Anyone interested in the history of Harald I is highly recommended to visit Avaldsnes.
