We take you for a walk to remember

On our way we will stroll in-between small, picturesque homes and boathouses that makes up the beach dweller settlement at Vikøyri. We also enter one of the small houses that still stands untouched as when it was abandoned many years ago.

The Hopperstad stavechurch is a "must see". The church is the oldest stavechurch in Norway and exhibits Norway's contribution to world architecture.

Hove stonechurch from the same period as the stavechurch may not be as grand as the cathedrals in Europe, but it's madonna sculpture is unique in Norway, and well worth the visit.

On our walk you also will hear about the interesting findings that was made when some of the burial mounds was excavated.
