Rock Carvings in Norrfors
The first discovery of rock carvings in the province of Västerbotten was made here in the summer of 1984. Most of the roughly 50 carvings are of elks. Similar figures have been found in Nämforsen on the Ångerman river.
The carvings have been dated to around 2 000-3 000 B.C. The find area, which used to be an island in a sea bay, began to emerge from the sea in 3 500 B.C.

Lagom utmanande för småbarnsfamiljen, med en lång träbro som barnen säkert tycker om. Handikappvänligt och bra framkomlighet, inte så långt att gå från P-platsen. Jättemysigt men kanske inte så spännande om man håller sig inom det tillåtna området.
