We will continue towards the charming and picturesque town of Skudeneshavn, famous for its 130 white wooden houses dating back to the 19th century, a time when herring fishing fueled the rapid growth of the region. We will stroll through its charming streets while our guide shares local stories and legends, and then enjoy free time to shop or relax with a delicious coffee.
