TOURS OF MILITARY FACILITIES - ODDERØYA

Odderøya is full of military history - right from the 17th century to 2006 when the last military unit left the island (Njøheimevernet).
We have concentrated the tours around Toppen. Here you will find the Main Battery, the Intermediate Battery, command posts and the Howitzer Battery, including the Howitzer Gang, as well as the facility from the Cold War (1953-2006). The battles on 9 April 1940 received a lot of attention.
