    The rock carvings of Allinge-Sandvig are the largest accumulation of petroglyphs in Denmark. The depictions date from the Nordic Bronze Age (1800-500 BC). Most of the depictions are of ships. But there are also round shapes that can be interpreted as the sun.
    The carvings were once traced in red, but unfortunately this has been washed out. You have to look very carefully to find the drawings. A bottle of water to moisten the rock helps.
    Even if the drawings are difficult to find at first, it is impressive that art created by humans has survived for so long.

    Very easy to recognize due to the red color.

    The rock carvings are painted with red color and are therefore easy to recognize
