Ruggesteinen - Movable with hand power only

Northern Europe's largest moving stone block of 74 tonnes

Next to the Blåfjellbanen, an old railway line, you'll find a large movable stone called "Ruggesteinen". This is Northern Europe's largest movable boulder weighing 74 tonnes. See if you can move it by hand alone. The stone is a moving block that has been left behind by a glacier. Ruggesteinen was protected in 1923 as the first geological preservation in Norway.

Access

Park at the bathing area in Linepollen and walk along the gravel road to Ruggesteinen.
If you're looking for a longer hike, you can also head into the Blåfjell valley and visit the disused Blåfjell mines, or walk up to the Lio scout hut.

Here is Ruggesteinen
