Attractions in Innherred

Rock carvings

The Bøla Reindeer is one of Europe's best known rock carvings, and it has become the classic example of a hunting carving from the Stone Age. There are also figures of a bear and an elk in the same area.

In recent years, a human form has been uncovered - The Bøla Man. Remarkably enough, he is equipped with a pair of skis.

You will find the rock carvings at Bardal along the road rv. 285, 15 kilometres from the centre of Steinkjer.
