Ramberg, or Rambergåsen, is an area with Bronze Age petroglyphs at Jeløy in Moss, Norway. The site is located in a rather large hiking area, and they can be a bit hard to spot along the trail. I didn’t see signs leading to the petroglyphs, but there is a small sign with information about the rock art at the site.

The vertical lines along the ship figures in petroglyphs are usually interpreted as passengers on the ships. Many of the ships at Ramberg also seem to have some larger people on board with their arms spread out in what might be a posture of adoration.
