Hopperstad & Vikøyri
Experience Hopperstad Stave Church and the coastal settlement of Vikøyri, with a local guide
Experience Vik through history
Join us on a walk through historical surroundings. We stroll between small picturesque houses and boathouses that make up the charming coastal environment in Vikøyri. We visit one of the small houses that still stands exactly as it was left in the old days.
The tour includes a tasting of gamalost. Gamalost has its roots in the Viking Age. The local dairy is today the only dairy in the country that produces this unique, traditional cheese. Along with the cheese, you will be served raspberry juice from Vik. In Vik municipality, about 25% of all raspberries for consumption in Norway are produced.
After visiting Vikøyri and Blix Hotel, where we taste Gamalost and raspberry juice, we continue further up the village and get to experience an open natural landscape with our local guide. We then visit Hopperstad Stave Church, where we get to experience the 1000-year-old wooden structure both inside and out.
All our tours have been created through collaboration with our partners and include entry to Hopperstad Stave Church and Voss Anders House.
