Fascinating landscape with magnificent energy of the Atlantic ocean. The lighthouse was established in 1852, many times was exposed to fire, and was automated in 1982. The tower is open for tourists from May through October, and the old keeper's house has a café and an exhibition hall where artwork from local artists are displayed. There is also a small historical museum inside the lighthouse tower.

5.00We done the short trip. Up to the sheep farm, held the lambs, one of which suckled on my finger. Farmer gave us a very informative talk and his wife gave us coffee/tea and apple pie. Back down to see the beautiful horse artwork in the sea, then up to the statue and probable resting place of the great Norwegian king. All in all a great little tour. Great driving and a very informative guide. Would recommend for any age group as long as you can do a little 15 minute walk on a sometimes rocky path.
Great tour of alesund

5.00Radmyla was a very vivacious and knowledgeable guide. We had a very robust yet relaxed tour of alesund. Our weather was horrible. However, we really appreciate the fact that she was not deterred by that.
Awesome tour!!!
