NILS AARØY 5 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 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 strait, the original “Northern Way”, or way north, hence “Norway”.

12 13 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!

12 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.

15 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.

18 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 Telephone + 47 52 81 24 00 www.avaldsnes.info

20 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?

22 The Boat House at Bukkøy.

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

23 Royal Estates Project One of Norway’s largest historical digs has been taking place in Avaldsnes in recent years. The mission of the Royal Estates Project is to explore the role of these lands in the lives of the Norwegian monarchy.

24 25 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!

24 25 The footpath to the Viking Farm on Bukkøy offers close communion with nature.

26 The Viking Farm, below the medieval church, consists of several dwellings, longhouses, fire- pits, roundhouses and a spacious boat house.

Carve sticks, 1/2 tsp salt twirl dough round stick, and bake on fire until dough comes 2 tsp sugar loose. Be careful not to char. Alternatively, bake bread around a 5 tbsp soy oil pre-fried sausage. 1,5 dl water 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!

30 Pack sausages, bread dough and wood logs for the campfire and find a place on the seashore below the Viking Farm.

34 35 There’s no need to go to New York to get your picture taken with the Statue of Liberty! Imagine that! – Copper from the Visnes mines was used to protect the very symbol of the USA: The Statue of Liberty! Here she stands, a memorial in the marketplace in Visnes, waiting for you to come along and take a picture!

35 Oscar’s Gate – the entrance to the old mine that extends 730 metres below.

36 The weather-worn buildings that once housed the Smelting Furnace are a poignant reminder of the days of mining here in the late 1800s.

37 Skudeneshavn

38 39 “The Lady in the Park”, the figure adorning the park entrance, has become the very symbol of Skudeneshavn.

39 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”.
