Ekkerøya rundt, Vadsø

# Ekkerøya Round – Vadsø's Bird Jewel Just five minutes from the parking lot, and you stand before Europe's largest bird cliff! Here, 40,000 kittiwakes nest among over 50 bird species – a spectacle few places can match. What is rare about Ekkerøy is that you can actually drive almost all the way to the cliff edge. The old fishing village, 15 km east of Vadsø, lies in flat, open terrain – perfect for everyone. Short on time? Take the 1.5 km marked trail with fascinating stops about bird life, history and cultural monuments. Or walk the full 7-kilometer loop around the island for the complete experience. Start at the trail cabin on Skagodden and experience the wildest show of coastal nature.
