Log Text: The ascent is a bit difficult and a bit dangerous in wet weather. The effort for someone like me, who comes 'from the flat country of Lower Saxony', is a small challenge (with a smile!)

Log Text: Places like this, where you can still see what people did and sometimes thought and lived 3000 years ago, are always something special and sometimes make you stop in awe and think about your own existence. The rock carvings are definitely such a place!

Log Text: Fossum's rock carvings impressed me the most personally. In addition, they are even already visible if you drive along the route by car. A 'Modern Age meets Bronze Age' moment.

Log Text: The stone circle is (as you can see in my pictures) in the middle of a cattle meadow and is therefore not always easily accessible. But otherwise a nice place on the way up from the runestone.

Log Text: The rock carvings have been well preserved here and with the wonderful landscape in the background as a panorama, the visit is really an experience. However, the route to the carvings is a bit hidden and only signposted for the last few meters. However, a parking lot is available.

Log Text: Beautifully preserved stone cist nestled in the middle of a forest. The path is quite hidden and more of a small path. By car you drive more on bumpy slopes than roads.

Rökstenen submitted by Meginring on 18th Feb 2007. The four metric tonne Rökstenen is decorated with some 800 runes, carved on all sides and also on the top. It is the longest and most intricate runic inscription known in the world today.

Log Text: Because of the size and the length of the written rune text, it is probably the most impressive rune stone I have seen so far. A really detailed information center is just near the stone by the south of the church.
