Freikollen
A 629-meter peak on Frei island, south of Kristiansund. From the summit, you can overlook the fjord, the offshore islands and the city all at once.
Freikollen is a hiking peak that locals love, located on Frei island (Frei), south of the city. From the parking lot at the foot, a marked trail goes up and back in about 3 to 4 hours, and some sections are steep and covered in loose rock. The summit has wide views: to the north, the four islands of Kristiansund and the open sea; to the south, the Averøy islands and the direction of the Atlantic Ocean Road. It takes about 20 minutes by car from downtown to the trailhead. Wear non-slip hiking boots, and avoid the hike in rain or strong wind.
