Kalnes is located in Sarpsborg, and is a part of Oldtidsruta in Østfold. Like the other rock carvings in the area, Kalnesfeltet is dated to the Nordic Bronze Age (1800 BCE -500 BCE).
The carved figures at Kalnes are unique and interesting, but today they are difficult to see because they haven’t been repainted.

There are several boat figures with people holding up what might be oars.

Among the boats there are also some animal figures, perhaps horses.
