In the area between Hammershus and Allinge-Sandvig hundreds of unique petroglyps from the bronze age (1100-500 B. C.) can be found. The exposed bedrock at Madsebakke is known for its many petroglyphs and is the largest site in Denmark. Here you can see carvings showing ships, wheel crosses, feet and cup marks. Nearer to Hammersholm and the burial mound Anebjerg Høj is another site where many recently uncovered petroglyphs can be found - ships, feet, cup marks, horses and a spiral-like carving (pictured). At Madsebakke the petroglyphs are regularly painted to make them easier to see. In the rest of the area only few are painted regularly, but many of the carvings can be recognized without aid. It is advisable to bring some water to splash on the rock surface as this makes the petroglyphs easier to see. It is not known why the prehistoric people went to great lenghts to carve these images into the hard granite, but most likely the symbols was connected to the religious traditions of the bronze age.
