3 Best Sights in Kragerø, Southern Norway

Easily reached by ferry from Kragerø, visiting this national park is a great way to see the archipelago and the animals that inhabit the area. Established in 2016, the 117-square-km (45-square-mile) protected area includes the islands of Jomfruland and Stråholmen. About 98% of the park area is ocean.  Watch where you step, as tiny creatures inhabit the sand dunes. No drones allowed, unless you have a permit. 

This charming manor house in Louis XVI style was built by the Homann family in 1803, and it was used by them until 1943. Here you can learn about the history of the family and the "cabin life" that has become so popular in Norway. It also has an interesting exhibit on artist Edvard Munch, who spent time in Kragerø. It's also open some days off-season with concerts and guided tours, and possible for groups and individuals to see the house off-season.
