===Mølen=== {{Main|Mølen}} [[File:Gravhaug.jpg|thumb|[[Bøkeskogen]] is home to one of Norway's largest burial grounds from the [[Iron Age]].<ref name="ReferenceG" />]] The [[Old norse language|Old Norse]] word ''Mol'' translates to [[cairn]]s, a site often used by ancient peoples to mark a burial site. [[Mølen]], which is Norway's largest stone beach, is home to 230 cairns, which have been built over ages. Some cairns have been dated to 250 A.D.<ref name="atlasobscura.com" /><ref name="ReferenceD" /> The [[isthmus]] of Mølen is home to stone piles, grave mounds, and stone settings, which are all part of a protected historic site. The last Ice Age pushed large amounts of gravel and stones ahead of it, and deposited it as a [[moraine]] through all of Vestfold, known as ''Vestfoldraet''. [[Raet]] meets the ocean at Mølen, where the moraine sinks into the sea. Its encounter with the [[Skagerrak]] ocean waves has uncovered and polished the huge round stone floor for centuries.<ref>Bertelsen, Hans Kristian (1998).
