In the Bronze Age, more than 3000 years ago, groups of people created images in the rock face at Evenhus. Boats, small whales, deer and other figures were carved into the rock surfaces. The motifs are most visible in the low evening sunlight.

The early hunter rock art and the later agrarian engravings were made on same rock surfaces. On the largest section, the petroglyphs are partly placed on top of each other.

Today, the rock art is located a good distance from the sea. When the images were carved into the rock, these surfaces were by the shore. The surrounding fields were the fjord’s seabed. The rock art was an eye-catcher, clearly visible from the water.

From here, it is a short 90-metre walk to the rock engravings. Turn left and follow the arrows to the path leading to the petroglyphs. You will find two additional signs with information about the nearby rock art.

The rock art is vulnerable. Be careful not to touch or step on the engravings.

We welcome you to Evenhus and exciting experiences in time and space.

Enjoy your walk!
