Istrehågan

The stone settings at Istrehågan form ship-like structures with the largest measuring 24 meters in length and 9 meters in width.

Archaeological excavations between 1959 and 1961 uncovered remains including bones, bear claws, pottery fragments, and a brooch from the Roman Iron Age period.

The ancient burial ground contains stone formations that mirror similar structures found in the British Isles, indicating connections between Nordic and British cultures.

Visitors can access the site through marked hiking trails in the Marum forest, with one route starting from Store Bergan school.

Agricultural symbols etched into the hillside date from 1500-500 BCE, making this location both a burial ground and an early farming documentation site.
