This remote rest stop on the northwestern tip of Frøya – on the small Korsholmen headland – is a real insider tip. The route here leads along a narrow, partly unmarked path that requires a bit of a sense of adventure. But the effort is rewarded with breathtaking views of the open sea – and of the majestic Slettringen Lighthouse, Norway's tallest lighthouse.

The Slettringen Lighthouse towers a proud 46 meters above sea level and was completed in 1923. As early as 1897, after the devastating Titran disaster, in which 140 fishermen lost their lives in a sudden hurricane, the call for better navigation became louder. Originally planned as a small lighthouse, this massive cast-iron tower was finally erected after long delays. Today, it is considered one of the most impressive coastal lighthouses in the country.

Slettringen Lighthouse was manned until 1993 – today it is automated and a protected cultural monument.

Tip: Ideal for a windy snack with a dramatic panorama – and a perfect place to unwind.
