Kragerø is a coastal town in the Norwegian region of Vestfold og Telemark. The approach to the city from the sea is bordered by a beautiful archipelago of small islands delimited by narrow winding straits.

Every summer, the population of the city increases by 4 times, because Kragerø is a favorite vacation spot for Norwegians. It is considered the Norwegian Riviera and a paradise for all boaters.

Even the famous Norwegian artist Edvard Munch called the town of Kragerø the pearl of the coastal cities of Norway.

The city is located on several islands, and a cliff rises above the city with wide viewing platforms equipped with benches and a map. From the observation deck, Steinmann the entire city and the surrounding archipelago of islands are visible at a glance.

By the way, it was in the city of Kragerø that the famous Norwegian illustrator Theodor Kittelsen was born, famous for his landscapes and drawings on mythological subjects, primarily images of trolls for children's books. His drawings are very often found on souvenirs throughout Norway.

The city has a well-developed ferry service. Directly behind the multi-colored building of the municipality of Kragerø, there is a pier from where small ferries leave on schedule to distant islands.

In the city center is a yellow three-story building with a tiled roof, this is the railway station of the city of Kragerø (Kragerø Jernbanestasjon). In 1927 the railway from Lunde to Kragerø was opened. But the railroad no longer exists here since 1989.

On the small island of Gunnarsholmen, there is an old fort in the 18th and 19th centuries that served to protect Kragerø from warships and pirates. Today, the guns at Fort Gunnarsholmen only fire on Norway's Independence Day, 17 May. Also today there is a guest harbor of the city with a recreation area, a sandy beach, and a large pool filled with seawater.

And with this video, we invite you to spend one summer day in Kragerø with us. Take a walk along its narrow streets and cozy embankments with colorful wooden houses that used to be boat sheds, but now have become trendy cafes and restaurants. And of course, admire the views of this wonderful seaside town from a bird's eye view and from the observation deck!
