    Hiking

    Not far from Sinnataggen stands the Livshjulet ('Wheel of Life'), a devilish circle of intertwined people 3m in diameter.

    Hiking

    On the western axis from the Monolith stands the Wheel of Life—a striking bronze sculpture created in 1933–34 and installed in 1949. This symbolic piece, showing adults and children linked in a circle, represents eternity and the human journey through life’s joys, sorrows, dreams, and hopes.

    A must-see moment of reflection in the park!
