About
Cave paintings - in the Skaren-Monsen caves 6 km south of Bronnoysund. The paintings consist of 5 animal figures painted in red colouring (hematite) on the east wall at the end of the 120 metre long cave. The paintings are 4-5000 years old. During the spring melt there are often avalanches in this area, and people are warned against climbing to the cave at this time. The steep climb up to the cave opening takes about 20 minutes. Guides can be arranged.
