Baneheia and Ravnedalen Nature Trek

From the ocean's edge to the rolling hills, our journey takes us from the very center of Kristiansand to the urban haven of Ravnedalen and Baneheia. Favored by locals and tourists alike, these areas are absolute jewels of recreational wonder and are only a stone's throw away from city life.

Our tour begins at a charming meeting point, leading the way toward the delightful Nord Café and then transitions spectacularly into the entrance to Baneheia. With each step, you'll feel further absorbed into a verdant nature reserve, which remains mostly untouched except for the well-trodden trails under our feet.

Embrace the history and view from Brannposten i Baneheia, a vantage point once used by vigilant eyes watching for fire threats, and now offering a breathtaking panorama of Kristiansand and the expansive ocean beyond.

Further up the trail, we explore the serene beauty of Ravnedalen, or Raven Valley, a carefully curated park that dates back to the 1870s, a testament to General Oscar Wergeland's green thumb. Don't miss the opportunity to witness one of Northern Europe's largest spruce trees, planted in 1875.

This tour offers plenty of time to soak in the stunning landscapes and exquisite scenery. While immersed in Norway's untouched beauty, you'll also be just steps away from the city center, proving that you don't have to go far to find nature's bounty.
