Rock carvings at Drotten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rock carvings are found at Drotten, Fåberg, in Lillehammer municipality in the county of Oppland, Norway. There are a total of 11 carvings within a 4 m² area on a cliff by the river. Seven of these carvings could be elk. The rest are more ambiguous, but are also likely to be elk. The carvings are narrow and shallow, with the largest at 45 cm across.

The rock carvings are located west of the river Lågen about 1.5 km above the Brunlaug bridge. They are difficult to reach when the river is flooded.
