Rock carvings at Møllerstufossen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rock carvings at Møllerstufossen in Nord-Sinni in Nordre Land municipality in Oppland county of Norway comprise of several carvings of mosse and one other animal. The site covers about 20 m². The largest figure measures about 90 cm across. The figures are carved with deep and wide strokes and are easy to spot.

[edit] How to get there

The carvings have been repainted and the site is signposted near the road between Dokka in Nordre Land and Aurdal in Nord-Aurdal. The river Etna runs approximately 10 meters away, and in spring nearly floods the site.

There is also a small wooden bridge near the site to provide access and to limit wear on the carvings.
