The rock art collection features 2300 carvings situated along the rapids of Ångermanälven river, depicting animals, boats, and human figures in stone surfaces.

Created over 6000 years ago during the Stone Age period, these petroglyphs reflect the activities and beliefs of northern hunting communities through detailed representations.

The carvings demonstrate significant cultural exchange between northern and southern societies through specific motifs and symbols found among predominantly elk illustrations.

The dedicated museum operates from June 15 to August 15, offering guided tours, a cafeteria, and an information center at Nipvägen 7 in Näsåker.

The site combines archaeological significance with natural elements, as the ancient carvings exist alongside the powerful rapids of the Ångermanälven river system.
