Kirklandet

We are now sailing between Klubba and Stavneset Lighthouse, with Kirklandet and Klubba to the northeast. From here, you have a rare and beautiful view of the city’s green edge. This area offers both fascinating history and stunning nature. Along the rocky slopes and pine forest near Klubba, you can still find traces of an old fortress, as well as other wartime remnants. The area is a popular hiking destination for locals, with trails and viewpoints leading all the way toward the city center. Along the way, you can stop at Damman, a group of small ponds that once supplied Kristiansund with drinking water. Today, they serve as a peaceful retreat for leisure, nature, and cultural experiences. At the top of the ridge stands the Varden observation tower, which once served as a lookout post. From here, you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view. In the northeast, the Nordmøre mountains rise majestically, and in the west, the vast and unpredictable Atlantic Ocean stretches beyond the horizon.
