After a 20-minute minibus ride to Steinsfjellet, the tour continues on foot to Kringsjå Farm, which offers great views, local history and a close encounter with wild sheep. For many, one of the highlights of the trip is experiencing the wild sheep that gather when the farmer calls to them. This fun and charming experience is popular with both adults and children. Apple cake and coffee are served before the tour ends with a visit to Norway's only national monument, Haraldshaugen, and The Rising Tide sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor. Kringsjå Farm is run by a local foundation and this tour helps to support the preservation of this important cultural heritage.
