Varden Watchtower Kristiansund

Highlight • Viewpoint

Old watchtower built for the first time in 1801 (the replica of which stands next to the new tower). From the top (freely accessible) one has a 360 ° -view, which shows Kristiansund, the sea and the surrounding fells. Especially nice is the painting inside, which represents the environment (earlier) and the name of the summit, including altitude.
