Join the stone adventure! The Millstone Park in Hyllestad is an outdoor museum in the largest stone quarry landscape from the Viking period and Middle Ages in Northern Europe. Here you will experience another side of history: The Vikings as skilled craftsmen and traders! At Millstone Park you will get a tour through the stone quarries. The Vikings toiled here more than a thousand years ago, with skill, sweat, and perhaps tears when yet another stone got a crack and broke. This was a world in which it was very important to be able to make things with one’s own hands. After the tour of the quarries you can also use your hands - or relax by the fire and enjoy something good to eat. Open from 17. June – 13. August, every day from 11.00 – 17.00 misf.no/kvernsteinsparken

Geo trails In Hyllestad we can see traces of the collision between two earth plates (continents). A formidable, but slow collision that resulted in a large and high mountain range: the Caledonian mountain range. In Hyllestad you will find stories that can be traced back to this dramatic story. Booklet with an overview of geopoints can be found in a separate mailbox in the parking lot at SPAR in Hyllestad.

Kvernhusfossen in Skor In Skor in Hyllestad you will find one of the finest aquaculture environments in the country: a concentration of five mill houses and a gated waterworks. The beauty of the aquaculture environment in Skor is that the Trondhjemske postal road goes right by the mill house. The aquaculture environment is part of a protected natural environment in the so-called bottom watercourse, which has a versatile function for several species of waterfowl in the region. Is it especially important as a nesting and migration site for ducks and wader. Other rare species in the region have also been found nesting in Skor.

Kayak

Nesje fort

Kayak rental: FjordKick, Sørbøvåg • tel. +47 979 62 230 • www.fjordkick.no

In the summer of 1940, the German navy started the construction of a coastal fort on Nesje. It was important for the German navy to quickly establish a defense. The purpose of the fort was cannons that could reach beyond Sognesjøen. The fort is nicely located by the sea and has a full overview of the entrance to the Sognefjord.

Padle between islets and skerries along the coast and the fjord, or on a beautiful water in Hyllestad. Padling or canoeing is suitable for most people, and you will get close to nature in a way you might not experience otherwise.
