Ancient Artistry
Petroglyphs in the heart of Narvik.
Rock carvings, known as petroglyphs, depict prehistoric images etched or chiseled into rocks. The Narvik region boasts the country's largest collection of these ancient artworks.
While most need a day's journey, a site just a 15-minute walk from the city center, Brennholtet, displays 5,000-year-old rock art from the Veide culture. It features a 2-meterlong contour-carved moose on a northfacing slope, accompanied by informative signs about its history
