Digital guidance through Högsbyn's rock carving area in Dalsland

Ethnologist Linnea Klingström takes us on a guided tour through Högsbyn's rock carving area in Dalsland. On the soft slate slabs there are over 2500 carvings depicting everything from bowl pits to ships and snake coils. Perhaps strangest is the hob that seems to show an entire procession. Linnea tells from an ethnologist's perspective about the traditions and legends that surround the place and the rock carvings. Some traditions are still alive today. And whose are the footprints that seem to lead to nothing?
