- Experience the Syngjarstein, also known as the “singing rock”. Although there is no definite scientific answer as to why some stones “sing,” there have been many theories. When a so-called ringing rock is being struck with smaller stones, a metallic or bell-like sound occurs. The most common theory to this conundrum is that the singing rock consists of a specific mineral or a mix of minerals that when combined, allows for rocks to generate noise. The Syngjarstein can be accessed through the Magma Geopark through hiking but can also be accessed by car through the several parking options along the trail.
- Discover the Eigerøy Lighthouse, one of Europe’s most powerful lighthouses. The lighthouse was established in 1853 and was built to ensure the safety of shipping traffic along the coast. Since it was the first cast-iron tower built in Norway, it was unclear whether it would be heavy enough to resist strong winds. 70,000 stones were used as ersatz ballast to line the tower from the inside. Visitors today can take tours to see the mighty lighthouse and the old lighthouse keepers' quarters which is now a café.
- Set your eyes on Egersund Church, the beautiful 17th century cruciform church that was originally known as Heidninggeholmen. The church has always been a sacred and important place throughout its history. During the Viking era, the king’s Leidang ship moored to the church to collect taxes and all old transport routes on land and sea led to this church. It is open to the public during the summer months with no admission fee and information about services can be found onsite.
