Beautiful area with a nice cafe and lovely flowers. Takes a bit of walking to get here but I’d say it was worth it. Very relaxing place to just lounge out. Read full review

Coastal Pilgrim tour Egersund - Trondheim, KarmøyGreat interest in pilgrimage. Historically, the pilgrim was a person who embarked on a journey of spiritual content or toward a sacred goal. Many had a hope of being healed of illness, others set out on the journey to cure wrongdoing. Others left with pure travel or adventure interest.
