Rock carvings at Møllerstufossen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock carvings at Møllerstufossen, Nord-Sinni, Nordre Land municipality in Oppland county, Norway. The site covers about 20 m² and all carvings except one depict elk. The largest figure measures about 90 cm across. The figures are carved with deep and wide strokes and are easy to spot.
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.
