Leave the pier on foot to walk past the new Kilden Performing Arts Center.
Your destination is Odderøya. This island was once a naval base and has a very interesting military history. Today, the remnants of its ramparts, a gunpowder store, a quarantine hospital and other 18th-century buildings serve as reminders of its important past.
Take in the views of the eastern harbor, Christiansholm Fortress and the pleasure-boat marina as you negotiate the hilly and undulating Kjærlighetsstien (lovers' track) around the island.
At the former residence of the garrison engineer, located on the southern tip of the island you will have a fantastic view of the fjord and two lighthouses. You will start your hike past the remains of the Odderøya Fortress and head to the Cafe for a well deserved refreshment before heading back to the ship
