Well worth the trip if you have the time. It's an about 20 minutes scenic drive off the main highway.
Packed a basket with food and drinks and took my mother along to Lindesnes fyr. Very positive surprised of the attraction. It's a wonderful well kept attraction!
Beautiful place as far south as you can come in Norway. It's very windy, and the Summer it's beautiful. You can also see the birds while they are coming over from England and other countries. It has a beautiful view. You can go down to the rocks and the beach, but if it is windy, you have to be careful! It also has some tunnels from World War 2 who is very interesting to go though.
Thinking you are on the southern tip of Norway, would wouldn't think wind. But this lighthouse is up on a steep bluff overlooking the sea. The views are wonderful, but the wind was extremely strong! Climbing to the top of the lighthouse gave some wonderful views, both land and sea. And going down into the bunkers from World War II on the grounds was very interesting also. I would highly recommend it. The drive to the lighthouse on the narrow road was an experience on its own.
When leaving the main road to go to Lindesnes fyr, I recommend you do that at Vigeland (the road to the light house is clearly marked with a light house in the roundabout). This route is vey scenic as you drive a long the water, while the other way that take you trough Lyngør was soo long and boring.The entrance fee is NOK 70 which includes a free coffee or tea in the coffee shop. There was plenty of free parking available, however we were there outside the main tourist season.The light house is very well kept, and you can climb to the top and enjoy a beautiful view over the ocean and archipelago. I can recommend a visit to this light house at the most southern point if Norway if you are in the area.
You can visit a lot of lighthouses here in Norway but this one is located on the most southern part of the country is one of the best! With its 350 years of maritime history, Lindesnes Lighthouse is a well-preserved and interesting cultural attraction for both locals and tourists.The view is absolutely breath taking in nice weather! And if you go there in a stormy weather and you will experience something you will never forget!Remember to bring proper shoes if you want to walk outside the paths or try some of the walking tours in the beautiful nature starting from the lighthouse area (ask in the gift shop for a map).If you just visit the lighthouse for the day you pay an entrance fee of NOK 50,-. This gives you access to the top of the lighthouse tower (climbing 109 stairs), the exhibitions and the mountain hall where there are more exhibitions. Well worth the price!RegardsSvein-Magne Tunli from Bergen, Norway.
We were made very welcome and an excellent video presentation followed in a first class cinema.Following a walk up to the lighthouse and guided tour we were well fed and watered in their nearby cafe/restaurant .
Norway belongs to the north of Europe and it may accordingly sound odd to seek the very south of the country (why not head for Tarifa in stead). This was part of our 25-year project, "know thy country". Interesting and rewarding.
great view, great lighthouse, chance to walk along quite well marked path along the coast to take pictures of the lighthouse. Very nice the painting exhibition!
In Norway we are used not to pay for "nature attractions", so we were surprised its cost 120 NOK each to enter the area. Oh yes, we got one cup of coffee for that price... BUT the rest of the visit was perfect; wiev, ocean, exhibition "in the cave", nice people and service.
