サルプスボルグの天然記念物・トップ7

Other sites of this type in Europe do not necessarily refer to graves but rather to cult sites where ritual gatherings took place. Sacrifices were often made for these purposes, which sometimes explains the finds of charcoal and bone. In this respect, the title of the highlight should rather be called "Stone Circles in Hunn". It is also sometimes not clear whether - if they are human bones - they were not later buried here. The cairns served as graves, of which there are two here, which are not even mentioned in the description.

Rock carvings that are difficult to reach, since you can only can park in the parking lot and has to climb over guard rails to get to the other side of the street. Still worth it.

Easy to walk circular route, partly marked.

More exposed rock carvings that were no longer painted but are clearly visible.

The Bjørnstad ship from Sarpsborg in Viken in Norway (Norwegian: Bjørnstadskipet) is Northern Europe's largest Bronze Age rock carving with a length of 4.5 m and a height of 1.15 m. In Scandinavia, along with small bowls, ships are the objects most frequently picked into rock. This indicates that the boat was central to society. Perhaps the rock was a point where the myth associated with it was cultivated. At the bow and stern there are two (larger and smaller) adoring figures or figures holding up objects. To the side, two smaller ships, about one meter long, are depicted on the rock face.

West of the E6, at the exit of the marked "Oldtidsveien", is Solbergfeltet with two outcrop fields with scratches. The field near the road has about 60 different images, including ships, people, and bowls. The second field is special in that it contains, among other things, a tree motif that is rare in Norway. According to the Norwegian archaeologist Erling Johansen (1919–2000), the Solberg field may have been a Bronze Age cult center.

The Hunn stone circle field is one of the largest in Norway. There are nine stone circles in total. Archaeological investigations have proven that these are tombs that have often been found within the circles. Nothing was found in the graves except pieces of charcoal and burned bones.

A short stop at the roadside leads to an extensive burial ground from the Bronze Age. https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunnfeltene
