Docksta

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§176) SKULEBERGET is a fearsomely steep and high hill beside the road one and three quarter miles beyond DOCKSTA. I wanted to visit a cave in this hill but the local people said it was impossible. With great difficulty I found a couple of men to accompany me and show me the way, and we climbed up cliffs, crawled, slithered and dragged ourselves forward - and then back down again, since there was no way on. We clung on to bushes or to small stones with one hand and if they had come away it would have put an end to our lives. I followed one of the men for a short way as he crept up a steep cliff but then I saw that the other man was having better luck so I tried to move across a little. No sooner had I moved 2 feet than a rock broke away below the first man and, with an eruption of sparks and smoke, struck right where I would have been following. Had I not altered course exactly where I did - under the guidance of the Eternal Creator - that would have been the last that was heard from me. Another fragment fell there immediately after and I am still not certain whether the man was doing it on purpose. Finally, utterly exhausted, we reached the hole that lay right in the middle of the mountainside. Here, where I had hoped to find something of interest, I found nothing more than a circular or vault-shaped chamber in the hill. It was 14 feet high, 18 wide and 22 long.
