The town square

At the town square in Skudeneshavn, you can see copies of statues from the Valley of the Norsemen at Fredensborg Palace in Denmark. Download the app Tilbakeblikk if you want to take a digital stroll around the town. Or you could go to the tourist information centre to pick up Eventyrjakten, a fun rebus activity for the whole family.
