Beschrijving
The island of Runde has very steep bird cliffs and grassy plateaus. The cliffs are one of the most famous in Norway and full of birds. A gigantic number of Papegaaiduiker, skua's and a chance of spotting the Zeearend. Runde is one of a few places in Norway where the Grote Jager breeds. Other birds you can see are Noordse Stormvogel, Drieteenmeeuw, Jan-van-gent, Kuifaalscholver, Alk, Zeekoet, Beflijster and Tapuit. Best time to visit is when the birds breed: April through mid-August. But migration periods are good as well.

Toegang
The great advantage of Runde is the accessibility. The island is located just outside of Norway’s north-western coast, and there is a road leading there. Via road 653 it's possible to drive to the island. But parking is a bit more difficult. The hike to the top of the mountain is a bit strenuous, but once you're up there it's relatively easy. Marked paths will guide you around the island.
