Värikallio - Felszeichnungen
Sight / Miscellaneous
At Lake Somer you will find a rock face with 5000 year old petroglyphs. The drawings are only accessible from the water and are between 20 cm and 2.5 meters above the water level. Since no land elevation or subsidence could be detected at this point, the origin of the drawings is in the dark. The color composition is also a mystery. The drawings were only able to survive thousands of years because a transparent silicate layer formed over the paint due to sintering, which now protects the paint from the effects of the weather. The drawings can be reached via a jetty built into the lake. At the end of the walkway there are information boards on the content and type of presentations.
