In Högsbyn at the Northern shores of lake Rågvarp, South of Tisselskog in Dalsland, you will find the province's without comparison largest site of petroglyphs. There are more than 2,500 carved figures spread out over more than 50 flat rocks. The carvings were made during the Younger Bronze Age, about 500 to 1000 B.C. The site is nicely situated on a Southerly slope and many boats pass by on the lake, since it is part of the Canal system of Dalsland, and Håverud is situated downstreams.Mor information on internet
Balken - The Sun Horse About 100 m to the east of the Fossum panel are further large carvings. They are not painted, but are signboarded. The carvings have a deep cut and are quite distinct. Possibly the most prominent feature of this panel is in the picture of a horse pulling the sun. The conception that the sun was pulled by a horse were widespread through out Europe during the Broze Age. Sometimes in Scandinavia the horse was replaced by a ship.
Altogheter there are close to 500 figures on the panel. The most predominant are figures of ships, which were perhaps a symbol of the journey to the kingdom of death, or even a symbol of power- since the ships carried the imported bronze artifacts that gave status and prestige to the chieftans and their families.
