Can be combined with a hike to Svanavollen and Reinsfjellet, or back to the cabin across the mountain via Langvatnet.

Just 25 minutes from the Atlantic Road, discover the enchanting Trollkirka caves, nestled in the mountains between Moen in Fræna and Eide. These three natural marvels – carved from marble and limestone – offer an awe-inspiring experience. Start from the marked car park at RV64 for a 90-minute steep hike. The bottom cave features a 40-meter-long "s-shaped" passage leading to a 14-meter waterfall plunging into a white marble pool. Above, watch the waterfall cascade straight into another cave. The uppermost cave provides long underground passages. Park at RV64 and follow signs to Trollkirka. Allow 1.5 hours to reach the main 70-meter cave, with its waterfall falling into a white marble bowl. Bring flashlights or headlamps for the best views inside the caves. For a refreshing treat, continue past the caves to the idyllic Trollvatnet lake for a swim. Hiking boots or waterproof shoes are recommended, as the trail and cave interiors may be wet.

City/town information

The town located on five small islands on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. This friendly little town is the home of the clipfish, or baccala as the Italians call it, or bacalao in Spanish, from where it has been exported all over the world for hundreds of years. Like the neighboring town Molde, Kristiansund was bombed and burnt to the ground during the invasion of Norway in 1940 and lost then much of its characteristic architecture from the end of the nineteenth century. This little town clinging to the rocks by the ocean has a quiet charm and is well worth a visit.
