Description
There are some 2,300 carved figures and lines on the islands of Notön, Brådön and Laxön and near-by shores. The oldest were engraved into the rocks about 6000 years ago. This huge collection of rock carvings, the unique natural environment and the free-flowing rapids in the summer months make Nämforsen a world-class cultural site.
