The Runde island
The legendary bird island Runde has more than 100,000 birds occupying the island during the nesting season from April to August. Around 80 species nest on the island, and more than 230 species have been registered on Runde overall. You can see the majestic sea eagle all year round, but you have to come between early April and August to see puffins. Every season is a unique experience.
Runde has great terrain for walks and a walk to the historical lighthouse and lighthouse keeper’s dwelling. You really get a sense of the brute force of the sea in autumn and winter. The Dutch trading ship Akerendam sank one rough winter’s night in 1725, loaded with large quantities of coins. Some 250 years later, three divers found what was one of the biggest hoards of coins ever discovered in Europe. You can see some of the coins at Runde Miljøsenter.
