Askjærholmen
Askjærholmen is an islet in Hvaler, 102.6 kilometres from Rådhusbrygge 4 as the crow flies. The entry comes from the Norwegian Mapping Authority’s place-name register. It has no article of its own here yet.
Landing
Islets and skerries without a quay are reached by your own boat or by kayak. Many of them lie inside seabird reserves where landing is banned in the breeding season, as a rule from 15 April to 15 July. The boundaries and the dates are in Naturbase at the Norwegian Environment Agency, and they are worth checking before you go ashore.
