Ravnedalen Park & Panoramic Coastal Drive

Kristiansand’s Old Town, Charming Villages and Stunning Gardens Enjoy a panoramic drive to coastal villages and a leisurely stroll through Ravnedalen Nature Park’s gardens. Pass through Kristiansand’s old town, Posebyen and marvel at its colorful wooden houses. Arrive in Høllen and enjoy a leisurely stroll with your guide through this charming quay and marina to learn about the town’s history as a timber port. Rejoin your coach and enjoy a scenic drive to Ravnedalen, where you will have free time to explore the gardens. Admire local wildlife, and plants and trees that were planted by soldiers over a four-year period during the late 19th century. The stunning result was a reflection of the hard work of the soldiers and the park quickly became a favorite of locals. Finally, delight in refreshments at a historic local farm that produces jam and applesauce. Sample a slice of delicious homemade cake and a cup of coffee before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
