8. Himmelstalund rock carvings

Reviewed By StevenKolsteren - Groningen, The Netherlands
Finding the viking rock carvings proves difficult because the name Himmelstalund seems to refer to everything around. Find the swimming pool and a path next to it leads into the large grass meadows, turning into a boardwalk where you find the carvings some 800 mtr. further. The carvings shows boats, animals etc and are clearly marked in red. They are flat on the ground and not covered. Of course the visit to the park as well as parking is free.
