Viking graves at Nordfjordeid
The picture at the top is Skjoratippen with Rundehogen in the background, the second is still Skjoratippen and the last is just Rundehogen, with Eid in the backround.
Rundehogen is 30 metres in diameter and around 4 metres in height.
Skjoratippen is 32 metres in diameter and around 4 metres in height.The largest of the five mounds at Myklebust Nordfjordeid, Rundhogjen, is lying on a flat plain by the fjord, visible from the highway. In 1903, the archeolog Anders Lorange found Rundehogen.
There was made a play about Rundehogen, called "Kong Audbjørn". Audbjørn is the vikingking who was burried at Rundehogen. The play Kong Audbjørn took place in Nordfjordeid at the age of the vikings. The play was about Kong Audbjørns everyday life. It dosen't sound exiting, but since he was a viking, and stuff. It was 3 shows. Two of them took place outside, and the last one in a school. It was quite entertaining.
