Østfold is among Norway’s oldest inhabited regions, and rock carving sites, burial mounds and stone rings dating back to the Bronze Age can all be found along Oldtidsveien, the stretch of road between Fredrikstad and Skjeberg along road 110. ‘20km on and 3,000 years back in time’ as the locals say. My personal favourites are the rock carvings (petroglyphs or helleristninger in Norwegian) featuring human figures, animals, ships, wagons, weapons and tools. The well hung Begby Man in Borge is the most famous (go figure why), but the carvings at Solberg and Hornnes are just as impressive. Check out the stone circles at Hunn on the way too (behing Gråtass Barnehage in Skjærviken), only a couple of hundred metres from the road.
