Description

Hidra is the meeting point for Southern and Western Norway judging by the terrain. A channel divides the island in two. Hidra can be described as having striking, lush nature and a beautiful coastal and cultural landscape. There are many traces here from the olden times, and history from the maritime life is still strong.

This lovely island has 600 inhabitants. There are several accomodation options (Skipperhuset/ Hidra Camping), a grocery store at Rasvåg and Kirkehavn, restaurants and cafes (Isbua and Skipperhuset). The interesting coastal museum (Fedrenes Minne) is well worth a visit. The tiny gallery- BitteLille- should also be visited. Nice artifacts can also be purchased at Fruenes Hus in Kirkehavn. At Isbua restaurant, there is a gallery on the second floor, of the local artist Olav Omland.

To enjoy a beautful view of the island, take a 30 minutes easy walk to Høgåsen. On top of this mountain, you will se ruins from the war as this was a coastal battery during WW2. This is a nice area for photography and a picnic!
