Rikulv lived in the Middle Ages and was outlawed after killing one of the wealthy farmers in a dispute over fishingrights in Lake Mårvatn.
From Kalhovd, the road continues to Lake Mårvatn. By following a path along the eastern bank of Mårvatn for about 20 minutes, visitors reach a natural cave or rock shelter on Hardangervidda. It is formed of three large rocks propping each other up and forming a shelter. People have lived here since the Stone Age and in the surrounding area there are many traces of their occupation. Here too lived the outlaw Rikulv.Rikulv lived in the Middle Ages and was outlawed after killing one of the wealthy farmers in the valley in a dispute over fishing rights in Lake Mårvatn. Rikulv had several caves he used to hide in and the stone slab at Mårvatn was one of these. It was here too that he was captured, later being beheaded nearby. Rikulvs stone can shelter up to 20 people and is a fine place to take a break or have a barbecue.Rikulv also had another cave. This is situated southeast of Kalhovd on a rock-strewn slope. The cave entrance is between some rocks on the scree and it penetrates deep into the mountain. You can descend into several rock chambers and it is said that when Rikulv fled into this rock-slide it was impossible to find him again.

Rikulv aliishi katika Enzi za Kati na alikuwa haramu baada ya kuua mmoja wa wakulima matajiri katika mzozo juu ya haki za uvuvi katika Ziwa Mårvatn. Kutoka Kalhovd, barabara inaendelea hadi Ziwa Mårvatn. Kwa kufuata njia iliyo kando ya ukingo wa mashariki wa Mårvatn kwa muda wa dakika 20, wageni hufikia pango la asili au makao ya mwamba kwenye Hardangervidda. Imefanyizwa na miamba mitatu mikubwa inayotegemeana na kufanyiza makao. Watu wameishi hapa tangu Enzi ya Jiwe na katika eneo la jirani kuna alama nyingi za kazi yao. Rikulv aliishi katika enzi za kati na aliuawa baada ya kuua mmoja wa wakulima matajiri katika bonde katika mzozo juu ya haki za uvuvi katika Ziwa Mårvatn. Rikulv alikuwa na mapango kadhaa aliyoyaficha na jiwe la Mårvatn lilikuwa mojawapo ya hayo. Pia alikuwa hapa alipokamatwa, baadaye akakatwa kichwa karibu na hapo. Rikulvi ina nafasi ya watu 20 na ni mahali pazuri pa kupumzika au kufanya barbeque. Eneo hilo liko kusini-mashariki mwa Kalhovd kwenye mteremko uliofunikwa na miamba. Mlango wa pango hilo uko kati ya miamba fulani kwenye mwamba na unaingia ndani sana ya mlima. Unaweza kushuka katika vyumba kadhaa vya mwamba na inasemekana kwamba wakati Rikulv alikimbia ndani ya mwamba huu ilikuwa haiwezekani kumpata tena. Mwisho updated: 01-02-2024 - Chanzo: Visitrjukan AS
