Hiking
About 100 metres to the east of the Stedje church in Sogndal there is a runic stone measuring 1.89 metres in height and 0.39 metres in width. The stone was probably raised here some time in the Middle Ages.
The runic inscription has been translated to mean: "King Olav shot between these stones."
There has been a lot of speculation about the content of the inscription. Who was this King Olav, when - and why did he shoot? And where was the other stone?
