The burial mounds at Rege are one of the largest and richest archaeological finds in Norway and are dated to 1500-1300 BC. A young, stately woman was laid to rest here about 3,500 years ago. She was probably dressed in a wool suit with a short blouse and skirt. With her in the tomb, she had, among other things, several beautiful bronze jewelry, a dagger and a bronze belt plate with a sun symbol. The artefacts from the graves are now on display at Archaeological Museum in Stavanger.

You will find the burial mounds at Rægehaugen, a hill south of Sola Airport. Enjoy the great views of Sola and Jæren while you are here. Parking is available at Emmaus bedehus Ræge, Vigdelsvegen 18.
