Hiking

Three thousand years ago, people in the Bronze Age carved patterns and figures into the smooth rock slabs that are found here on the headland between the sea and the large inland lake. Most of the figures carved into the rocks in Norkoping are located in Himmelstalung, around 1,660 have been found. You can see more than 600 ships and other drawings.

The rock carvings Hällristningar i Himmelstalund are among the most important Bronze Age rock carvings in Sweden. They are easily accessible within a green area on the banks of the Motala strom west of downtown Norrköping.
