Rock carvings at Vingen, Prehistoric rock art site in Bremanger Municipality, Norway.
The Vingen site contains over 2000 rock carvings spread across multiple locations, including Vingelven farm, Fura, and Hennøya island.
Bergen lawyer Kristian Bing discovered the petroglyphs in 1910 while exploring the area with guide Abraham Honnskår, leading to their documentation and study.
The rock carvings feature numerous deer figures that researchers interpret as representations of fertility symbols or elements of ancient ceremonial practices.
The site requires boat transportation or a 4 to 5 kilometer hike from the nearest roads, with entry restricted since 2002 by Norwegian authorities.
The Bergen Museum purchased and maintains these rock carvings, which date between 4000 and 2000 BCE, making them among Northern Europe's largest collections.
