Tips from the Community
Sandvikheia offers a commanding perspective over the archipelago. The trail ascends through a classic coastal landscape where windswept pines and thickets of heather frame the path, leading to open plateaus of smooth, ice-scoured granite. It is a site defined by its clarity and light, offering a quintessential Norwegian coastal vista that feels significantly more expansive than its modest altitude suggests.

This steep wooden staircase serves as a vital vertical link, anchored directly into the rugged granite shoreline of the Aust-Agder coast. The structure offers an expansive view of the calm bay and the distant, lighthouse-dotted horizon of the Skagerrak sea.

The Trinity Church with its 87 meter high tower characterizes the cityscape. The two lighthouses Store and Lille Torungen outside Arendal were built at the same time in 1844. Two towers were built in order not to confuse Arendal with surrounding towns that only had one lighthouse. The Store Torungen lighthouse, together with its 'little brother', Lille Torungen, has great lighthouse historical significance for Arendal, the town of the two lighthouses. Both are listed monuments.
