Nordvegen history center
From the church plateau you will see the round
entrance that symbolizes Mimir's well. Here, visitors
can enjoy the rich history of the strategic Karmsundet.
Due to environmental concerns, most of the construction
28
of the center has been laid underground. A
wealth of information awaits you.
The center also arranges activities for children such
as ”Viking for a day” - where kids can play as vikings.
The Viking farm and Bukkøy
On a small wooded island below “Olavsgården” is
Bukkøy and the Viking farm. In the courtyard there
Ørjan Iversen
are viking longhouses, a boathouse, round houses
and a number of smaller buildings.
The Viking farm is open to tourists during the
summer season with activities and local guides.
Every year in the first week in June you can experience
”The Viking festival”, with a wonderful atmosphere
in historic surroundings, reconstructed buildings,
a bustling market life and of course - vikings.
From the quay on Bukkøy to the church you can walk
along a trail based on the Pilgrim's 7 keywords:
Slowness, freedom, simplicity, carefree, stillness,
fellowship and spirituality.
