Rock Carvings - Madsebakke
The area of rock carvings at Madsebakke in Allinge is one of the largest areas on Bornholm
Madsebakke is one of Northern Europes most important areas with rock carvings (petroglyphs) from the Bronze Age. It’s said that the carvings are up to 3000 years old.
Here you can see most of the symbols found on Bornholm’s rock carvings. For preservation reasons, the symbols are no longer outlined, and they can be difficult to see for an untrained eye. In the area, you can see: 11 ships, 3 curved lines, 5 sun crosses, 4 foot signs, and a more significant number of cup marks.
