What Customers Say
"It’s a beautiful spot with absolutely stunning views ✨totally worth the visit! The only downside is the small parking area 🚗, so it fills up pretty fast. You can still park along the roadside nearby. Overall, a peaceful and scenic place to relax and enjoy nature 🌿🌅."
"Beautiful views. Definitely worth the hike. Take the trail down to Vikingsholm for a better view of the island in the middle of the bay and a cool dock on the water."
"Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL place! Be prepared to hike. You will have to park on top and hike all the way down. The path is pretty wide and doable with young children. It's easy to go down, but going back up will be pretty tiring because it's steep. The view makes it so worth it."
