About Backa Rock Carvings

Where Brastad's lush landscapes meet the salty sea in northern Bohuslän, a treasure from a bygone era lies hidden. At Backa, nestled among ancient oak trees and smooth rock slabs shaped by melting glaciers, you'll find one of our country's most magnificent rock carving sites. Here, amidst the tranquility of nature, thousands of intricate carvings unveil themselves, carrying the stories of the Bronze Age. These symbols, created around 3000 years ago, are a window into ancient life, myths, and rituals, inviting quiet contemplation of a world that once was.
