Tips for travel
When traveling on Rundefjellet, there are a few rules that apply. Here we have some recommendations for you.
Path to the bird mountain
When you go on a trip to the bird cliff, you usually start from the parking lot in Goksøyra. Then you follow the first road to the left after Goksøyr camping.
Use the designated path
Up on the bog there is a prepared path, with both stone slabs and wooden planks, and there are several nice round trips. We encourage you to use existing paths and avoid walking in the bog. It is important to protect the bog and give the birds that nest there peace.
Accommodation and protection
Due to vulnerable areas and nesting birds, camping on the mountain is not recommended. Runde . We encourage EVERYONE to take advantage 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 Environmental Center. Out on
Runde There is also accommodation available at the lighthouse, under the auspices of DNT.
The puffin and birdlife
During the summer season, many people come Runde to see the puffin. You can see it best in the evenings from April to July. By seven o'clock in the evening, the puffin will have finished foraging for food for the day and will begin 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 sanctuary
There are several different bird conservation areas around the island. These areas are marked with signs or fences, and it is not allowed to cross them. The marsh up by Rundebranden is also a nature reserve, which means that you cannot bring new plants or remove old ones. You can pick berries and mushrooms! There are few traffic restrictions here, but you should walk carefully and be considerate.
Dog on the bird cliff
There is a band requirement on Runde , and we urge everyone to keep their dogs on a leash and respect the animals and birds that live here all year round. We strongly urge you to take care that dogs do not disturb nesting birds, the bird cliff on Runde is vulnerable.
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 birdlife 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 bin. You will find a summer toilet at the parking lot in Gøksøyra, and year-round toilets/showers at Runde Environmental Center.
Have a nice trip!
