Cruise offers to the port Torvik / Norway
Only 20 km from Torvik lies the famous Vogelinsel Runde, Norway's southernmost bird rock. The breeding colonies of about 500,000 seabirds (thirteen gulls, parrots, crows and about 20 other bird species) are found in the up to 250-m-high rock faces in the west of the island. Large parts of the island are protected by nature and may not be entered during the period from the middle of March to the end of August. To get a real impression of the breeding colonies, one should participate in one of the island tours offered. On the other hand, the colony of the parrots is a good sight to observe.
