Her stod Vang stavkirke og her står en stein fra årtusenskiftet med runeinskripsjoner.
Vang Stave church was located here. And a stone with rune (old norse written language) inscriptions from around year 1000 can be seen here.
Look further down for english translation.
Vang er en kommune med mye spennende historie. At det har bodd folk her lenge viser Vangssteinen med runeinskripsjoner fra omkring år 1000 e.Kr.
Men det kanskje mest utrolige med dette stedet er at det stod en gammel stavkirke her, inntil den nye kirken ble bygd, og den gamle ble solgt til Friedrich Wilhelm den IV av Prøyssen, som fikk den satt opp i Karpacz i Polen, hvor den står den dag i dag!
Det var krefter i bygda som forsøkte å hindre flyttingen. Les mer om det på cachen "Knut Gudmundsen Nørsvin"
Vang is a community with a lot of history. The stone with rune inscriptions (Vangssteinen) shows that people have been living here at least for a 1000 years.
The most incredible thing with this place is that originally an old norwegian stave church was located here. But, when the new church was built, the stave church was sold to Friedrich Wilhelm the IV of Preussen. He moved it to Karpacz in todays Poland where it can be seen today.
Not everyone in Vang was happy about selling the church. You can read more about this in the cache description for "Knut Gudmundsen Nørsvin".
