Geocache Description:


Sverd i fjell er et monument innerst i Hafrsfjord i Stavanger kommune. Monumentet er laget av skulptøren Fritz Røed fra Bryne og ble avduket av Kong Olav i 1983. Det er tre store sverd som er satt ned i svaberget til minne om slaget i Hafrsfjord i 872, da Harald Hårfagre samlet Norge til ett rike. Det største sverdet representerer den seirende kongen, mens de to andre symboliserer de tapende småkongene. Minnesmerket er også et fredssymbol, sverdene er satt ned i fjellet for at de aldri mer skal brukes. Sverdene er opptil 9,2 m høye, og er utformet over tre typer vikingtidssverd som er temmelig vanlige å finne over hele landet.

Sword in Rock is a commemorative monument located in the Hafrsfjord neighborhood of Madla, a borough of the city of Stavanger in Rogaland, Norway The monument was created by sculptor Fritz Røed from Bryne and was unveiled by King Olav V of Norway in 1983. The three bronze swords stand 10 metres (33 ft) tall and are planted into the rock of a small hill next to the fjord. They commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord which by tradition took place there in the year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown. The largest sword represents the victorious Harald, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated petty kings. The monument also represents peace, since the swords are planted into solid rock, so they may never be removed.
