Tips for travel
When traveling on Rundefjellet, there are a few rules that apply. Here we have some recommendations for you.
Path to fuglefjellet
When you go on a trip to the bird cliffs, you usually start from the parking lot in Goksøyra. Then follow the first road to the left after Goksøyr camping.
Use the marked trail
Up on the marsh there are marked trails, with both stone slabs and wooden planks, and there are several nice round trips. We encourage you to use existing trails and avoid walking in the bog. It is important to protect the marsh and leave the birds that nest there in peace.
Accommodation and protection
Due to vulnerable areas and nesting birds, camping on the mountain at Runde is not desirable. We encourage EVERYONE to make use of organized accommodation when visiting the island. There are several good options to choose from, either at Goksøyr Miljøcamping, Christineborg Gjestehus or with us at Runde Miljøsenter. You can also stay overnight at
Runde fyr, under the auspices of DNT.
The puffinand bird life
During the summer season, many people come to Runde to see the puffin. It is best seen in the evenings from April to July. Around seven o'clock in the evening, the puffin will be finished with the day's food gathering and start its evening activity. What awaits visitors is a spectacular experience! We also recommend taking the time to look around and study some of the other birds we have on the island!
Bird conservation area
There are several different bird conservation areas around the island. These areas are marked with signs or fences, and it is not permitted to cross them. The marsh up by Rundebranden is also a nature reserve, which means that you cannot bring in new plants or remove old ones. You can pick berries and mushrooms! There are few traffic restrictions here, but you should tread carefully and be considerate.
Sea boat trips and environmental awareness
During the summer season there are boat trips around the island from Runde Harbour when the weather permits. A great way to see the bird life from the sea! Remember to show respect for birds and animals, other visitors and residents. Use the public toilets and take your rubbish to the nearest recycling bin. You will find summer toilets at the parking lot in Gøksøyra, and year-round toilets/showers at Runde Environmental Center.
Have a good trip!
