A great slice of Norwegian culture in a fun day tour

5.00A beautiful trip up to the stunning countryside just outside Haguesund. Our tour started with a drive through the centre passing some of the important buildings and locations. Our first stop was at the scenic viewpoint where we had time to enjoy the view before we started the walk to the charming wooden house at Kringsjåhytta. The walk was only a couple of kilometres but did include some uneven ground, steps and inclines so wear footwear that is suitable for this. Our host at Kringsjåhytta was Tom - the star of the tour - who joyfully and proudly explains the history of the location and the work that has been completed to restore the buildings to their original appearance. We enjoyed coffee and apple cake on the sunny terrace with views down to Haguesund. We loved feeding the sheep and playing fetch with Lissie the sheepdog. A wonderful experience and one that was great fun and enhanced by the small group size. We then walked back along the scenic path the meet our driver. Our last stop was at The Rising Tide horse statues and national monument of Haraldshaugen which were both very impressive to see. This was a perfect trip and our guide Jason helped make sure everyone made the most of their time on the tour.
Incredible day touring from Haugesund

5.00We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our tour guide was very informative and everyone (from age 5 to 77) enjoyed the entirety of the tour. The highlight was Kringsjå farm and the amazing host. The stories, apple cake, and feeding the sheep were all incredible — plus, our host reminded me of a young version of my (Norwegian) grandfather, which made the visit all the more special. Go! You won’t regret it.

5.00It was a wonderful experience although people should be made aware that the walk to the farm is quite tricky . A bit steep and slippery for those that are not very agile. But well worth it. Farmer Tom was very informative and amusing. We were celebrating our cousins 80th bday and he came out singing to her when we were having the tea with the best apple pie I’ve ever tasted. Feeding the sheep was a lot of fun. And I loved the sculptures of the men on horseback .
Beautiful highly recommended excursion!
