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.

Nearest island with an article

Store Herbern lies about 2.3 km from here. Liten holme (ca. 13 daa) sørøst for Bygdøy, under 5 m høy og skilt fra Bygdøy av et svært grunt sund. Hele holmen er naturreservat opprettet for å bevare urørt natur med variert strandvegetasjon og flere sjeldne arter.
