Petroglyphs at Bugge

Petroglyphs are signs and symbols that were carved into the rock in the days when people lived from fishing and hunting. The carvings may be a celebration of good hunting grounds and large stocks of game, or magical pictures bestowing powers on the hunter over the animals he wanted to hunt. The largest collection of prehistoric rock art in More og Romsdal is at Bogge in Nesset. The oldest group dates back 6,000 years.
