    The one real spur on the Viking Trail, and it earns itself: the town's national historic site holds thousands of years of layered burial and settlement archaeology — people fished this point for millennia before the Norse ever sailed. Half an hour out and back plus whatever the site deserves.

    Stopping here adds about 34 min and 29 km to that drive (5h 51m door to door).

The map last touched this element on 2020-07-21 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.

All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.

Where this pin comes from: OpenStreetMap node/107364109 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
