Karmøy Anthem: “På heimleg grunn”
Great and rich your verdant pastures,
Stout against the sea you face,
Karmøy praise your hardy coastline!

Welcome to Karmøy
Homeland of the Viking Kings
– Norway’s Birthplace
Come and experience Karmøy – with rocks and skerries protecting us from the raging sea in the
West. With long, silky-smooth, sandy beaches in bays and inlets – and with eternal swells pounding
the coast. Real maritime culture, dramatic ocean, silvery fresh fish and a vibrant heritage – that’s
Karmøy today. With a mix of small hamlets, pleasant shopping centres, historical sights, modern
industry – all jostling cheek-to-jowl with traditional agriculture and active fisheries.
Walk in the footsteps of Harald Fairhair who first united Norway in a single kingdom. Olav’s Church,
the Nordvegen History Centre and the Viking Farm, all at Avaldsnes, invite you to relive
history. Let these barons and kings, with their indentured trells, be your guide. The Church and
History Centre offer majestic views of sheltered Karmsund strait, the original “Northern Way”,
or way north, hence “Norway”.

Avaldsnes – Norway’s birthplace
12
A historic landscape with views across the narrow strait that in
Viking times was known as the North Way – the way north – and the
way Norway got its name!
13
Avaldsnes
– Norway’s oldest royal seat
Harald Fairhair chose this as the site of one of his Royal Farms.
The historical remains here reveal ancient facts about the first kings
of Norway and the legendary figure who appears so often in sagas
and songs. The barons who controlled the vital ”Northern Way”
have left impressive works: mighty grave mounds, tall memorial stones,
and rich artefact beds. Beside the medieval church is a history centre
and, to the East, a reconstruction of a Viking Farm, open to visitors
in the summer months.

Olav’s Church, built by
Håkon Håkonsen in about 1250 AD, is a powerful
memorial to former greatness.
16
Virgin Mary’s Needle – the Sagas warn that Doomsday will be
upon us if ever the ”sewing needle” touches the church wall. The
clergymen of Avaldsnes – under cover of darkness – are said to
have chiselled bits off the point and thus saved the world. The gap
between the needle and the church wall is presently 9.2 cm.
17
Nordvegen History Centre, though it lies in the midst of
history, avoids spoiling the views of the Olav´s Church and its
carefully manicured surroundings, as most of the building
is below ground. Only the entrance and Karmsund face
are visible.

19
Now is your chance to meet Harald Fairhair, the king who
unified Norway and made Avaldsnes the oldest royal seat.
Let Harald guide you through 3500 years of local history, during
times when Avaldsnes was where Norway and Europe met. Listen
to his tales of royal doings, and take the opportunity to meet
some of the barons who held court at Avaldsnes, funded by
taxation of trading ships plying the Norwegian coast.
Open all year

According to the Sagas, King Olav Tryggvason (c. 968–1000)
investigated several burial mounds at Avaldsnes. Perhaps seeking
proof of a relationship with Harald Fairhair?
21
The Vikings were
excellent sailors
with versatile ships.
The Viking Age is given as 800–1050 AD.

The name ”Vikings” was used of
Scandinavian marauders who sailed to
other countries to trade and pillage.

The excavation work at Avaldsnes has
finished. Analysis of results and further
investigations remain.

26
A Viking sheep, perhaps?
The grassy mounds between Olav’s Church and
Bukkøy Viking Farm are a fine example of how agriculture
shapes the landscape. And a reminder to greet the tireless
groundsmen – the “Viking Sheep”! Not content just to
graze, these hardy animals enjoy human company
and are pleased to say hello to passers-by!
27
The footpath to
the Viking Farm on Bukkøy offers
close communion with nature.
28
The Viking Farm, below the medieval church,
consists of several dwellings, longhouses, firepits, roundhouses and a spacious boat house.

Twist bread
Easy to make ...
4 dl flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
5 tbsp soy oil
1,5 dl water
Mix dry ingredients together, then add oil and water. Work to
a smooth dough and store in an air-tight plastic bag. Carve sticks,
twirl dough round stick, and bake on fire until dough comes
loose. Be careful not to char. Alternatively, bake bread around a
pre-fried sausage.
Another good idea is to add spices, grated cheese or sun-dried
tomatoes to the dough. For a sweeter bread, add chopped chocolate
to dough! Or swirl bread in a mix of sugar and cinnamon before
baking!
32
Pack sausages, bread dough and wood logs for the campfire and find a
place on the seashore below the Viking Farm.

Smelting Furnace
Statue of Liberty Mine Museum
Visnes encapsulates the history of a mining community.
In the nineteenth century it was home to 3000 and one of
Norway’s largest copper mines! Evidence suggests that the
Statue of Liberty in New York is sheathed in copper from
these very mines. Walk through Director Charles de
France’s garden – the Fransehagen – and inspect the ruins
on the water’s edge. Or take the children to the Mine
playground – a popular attraction!

Skudeneshavn - Awardwinning
Summer Town
At the southern tip of Karmøy, with lighthouses guiding ships into
Skudefjorden and across the North Sea, lies the charm and old-world
flavour of Skudeneshavn, home of the sailing clippers. Founded on the
incredible success of the early 19th Century herring harvests, the town
grew at a startling rate. Even today, almost 130 original timber
homes and seafront wharves have been preserved in ”The Old Town”.

recommended, to suit the time and distance required.
Bicycle hire: NOK 150 per day/ NOK 500 per week

Raking for crab?
Raking crab is one local pursuit that
combines a magical evening with the
reward of a scrumptious dinner. Take
your bucket and rake, powerful torch
and good spirits.
Fill a large pot with water, adding equal quantities of salt and sugar. Bring to boil.
Submerge crab in pot allowing 20 minutes to cook. Enjoy on a slice of bread with mayonnaise,
pickled gherkins and lemon juice. Delicious!
Boiling crab:
The crab season opens in late July/ early August, and continues until the beginning of
December. The best harvests are taken in September, when quality is also at its peak.
