Kvamsøy
is the smallest island in Norway
with a church
It is dated from 1280
and is unique of its kind
The ‘naked’ but rich interior
gives a particular atmosphere

The thousand Year Oak
at Målsnes farm
close by the pilgrimage path
towards Kvamsøy
Under the wide tree crown
is the right surroundings
for a gathering
for meditation
reflection
and a short devotional

Tjuatoten 1089 m
with wide view to ‘seven kingdoms’
is the destination 
for a pilgrimage
to The Stone Cross
on the top plateau
and it rewards you
for the efforts
in the steep hills above the fjord
