World heritage The rock-carvings in Tanum have the same status as the pyramids in Egypt or India’s Taj Mahal and have –like these – been made World Heritage sites by the UN. Almost 70 percent of the rock-carvings depict ships floating across the rocks. The rock-carvings were knocked in 3,000 years ago by the people of the Bronze Age. The famous rock in Vitlycke is more than 20 metres long and seven metres high. The motives are men with long legs lifting their axes towards the sky. But it’s not only wars and warriors that we meet. A man and a woman are embracing each other in love - or do they fear the giant holding a hammer above their heads? Magical. Ritual. A world heritage for eternity.

Beaver and elk safaris

The forests of Dalsland are rich in both beaver and elk. The beaver is Europe's largest rodent and it lives in family groups, by lakes and waterways. The elk is Europe's largest land animal and there are an estimated 5,000 of them in Dalsland alone. On guided tours you can learn about beavers and elks, and often see them as well.
