In 1904, a large part of the city was completely destroyed by fire. The rumor is that a cow started the fire by knocking over a torch in a barn. That night, strong winds were blowing, and many buildings were still made of unprotected wood. This gave the fire the opportunity to spread rapidly, destroying 850 homes and leaving 10,000 people homeless. Miraculously, there was only one fatality: a woman who ran back into her burning house to save her belongings.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-84cf2ec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"84cf2ec\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7f06f3\" data-id=\"d7f06f3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d10d07\" data-id=\"6d10d07\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae79765 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ae79765\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/lostinnorvana.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Alesund-3.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/lostinnorvana.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Alesund-3-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5531\" alt=\"De haven van \u00c5lesund\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lostinnorvana.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Alesund-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lostinnorvana.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Alesund-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lostinnorvana.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Alesund-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lostinnorvana.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Alesund-3-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/lostinnorvana.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Alesund-3-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-008ff97\" data-id=\"008ff97\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-33462bb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"33462bb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05bb7ba\" data-id=\"05bb7ba\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c99e65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c99e65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After the devastating fire, many people came to help with the reconstruction.

The viewpoint is accessible via a staircase with no less than 418 steps! The stairs start in Byparken, the city park. If you have mobility issues, you can also reach the viewpoint by car, but parking is limited, so take the stairs if you can.

What exactly makes the city so special, you ask? First, it&#8217;s the location. This slice of civilization is spread across several islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Secondly, \u00c5lesund offers all the conveniences of a city, but without the overwhelming feel of one. The Art Nouveau architecture of almost all the buildings gives the place a fairytale-like appearance. And you can admire this splendor in various ways, each one just as special. Here are 7 awesome things you absolutely must do in \u00c5lesund! 1. Strolling endlessly through the city center of \u00c5lesund \u00c5lesund owes its unique, fairytale-like appearance to a tragic event. In 1904, a large part of the city was completely destroyed by fire. The rumor is that a cow started the fire by knocking over a torch in a barn. That night, strong winds were blowing, and many buildings were still made of unprotected wood. This gave the fire the opportunity to spread rapidly, destroying 850 homes and leaving 10,000 people homeless. Miraculously, there was only one fatality: a woman who ran back into her burning house to save her belongings. After the devastating fire, many people came to help with the reconstruction. Young Norwegians who had studied abroad were inspired by a new art movement: Art Nouveau (Jugendstil). They contributed to the rebuilding of the port city, and the rest is history. The city has been very protective of its old town. Today, you can stroll endlessly through beautiful streets, the unique harbor, and along colorful buildings. And I highly recommend doing just that. You won&#8217;t see anything like it anywhere else! And while you&#8217;re wandering through the streets, make a stop for bubble tea (BOBA) at MaruCha \u00c5lesund. It&#8217;s so delicious! 2. The Fjellstua viewpoint on Mount Aksla Can&#8217;t get enough of \u00c5lesund&#8217;s unique architectural style? Then you can admire the colorful palette from above! From the Fjellstua viewpoint on Mount Aksla, you get a truly spectacular view of how everything is laid out. Colorful houses spread across little islands, all connected by bridges. You\u2019ll see boats sailing everywhere, and you might even spot a massive cruise ship docking. Either way, there\u2019s plenty to see! To get there, you&#8217;ll need to put in a bit of effort. The viewpoint is accessible via a staircase with no less than 418 steps! The stairs start in Byparken, the city park. If you have mobility issues, you can also reach the viewpoint by car, but parking is limited, so take the stairs if you can. Along the way, you\u2019ll pass Byrampen, a glass viewing platform reminiscent of the Titanic\u2019s bow\u2014perfect for a Kodak moment. Update: In the summer of 2024, I discovered that there are now fences on the rooftop, and you have to pay to access the terrace. What nonsense! If you walk just a little further (or back) towards the stairs, you\u2019ll still get the beautiful view, but for free. I hope (and suspect) they&#8217;ll remove the gates soon because the terrace was completely empty. 3. Climb Sukkertoppen If you haven\u2019t had your fill of stunning views after visiting the Fjellstua viewpoint, then a trip to Sukkertoppen (The Sugar Top) is a must! This mountain peak is located on the opposite side of the city and offers breathtaking views of \u00c5lesund, the Atlantic Ocean, and the countless nearby mountain peaks. To reach the starting point of the hike, head towards Hessa (by car, bike, on foot, or by bus). You can park at a school just west of the roundabout in Hessaskaret. If you walk a little past the parking lot, you\u2019ll find the trailhead to your right, between two houses. The rest is pretty straightforward. Sukkertoppen stands 314 meters above sea level and can be reached within an hour. Some sections can be a bit steep, so make sure to wear sturdy shoes! At the top, there\u2019s a kind of compass that you can rotate. It lists all the names of the visible mountain peaks, along with their heights and distances. Super cool! 4. Shopping in \u00c5lesund! Personally, I prefer climbing mountains. But whenever I\u2019m in \u00c5lesund, I can never resist doing a bit of shopping. After all, it\u2019s a tradition for me to bring home a souvenir after each visit to Norway. Last time, I picked up this cool bronze statue of Skadi, my favorite Norse goddess. And maybe a sweater with &#8220;Norway&#8221; on it. And some cheese-themed socks from H&amp;M. In addition to souvenir shops and the usual big names, you\u2019ll also find many hidden boutiques scattered throughout the city. Must-visits include the record store, one of the shops with handmade Norwegian clothing, and Oliviers, a specialty store focused on olives and oils. 5. Visit one of the many museums \u00c5lesund is well-represented in the cultural scene. In addition to a glass museum, a klipfisk museum, and various art galleries, here are the museums that are definitely worth a visit: Waldehuset Museum: The only house in \u00c5lesund that survived the 1904 fire. It\u2019s a unique spot where you can also enjoy some delicious waffles and cakes! Jugendstilsenteret: As the name suggests, this museum is all about Art Nouveau. Housed in an old pharmacy, it features an interactive program (&#8220;The Time Machine&#8221;) that takes you through the events before, during, and after the fire. Sunnm\u00f8re Museum: An open-air museum with 55 Norwegian houses and boats, ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day. 6. Atlanterhavsparken (Atlantic Sea Park) The award-winning Atlanterhavsparken is a massive aquarium located just three kilometers from the city center. In this &#8220;water park,&#8221; you\u2019ll learn all about the Norwegian fjords, the vast coastline, and the Atlantic Ocean in the most natural way possible. In addition to a wide variety of fish, they also have (baby!) seals and penguins! Foto: Visit \u00c5lesund 7. Kayak through the city center If you want to give your legs a break but still explore the unique city center, take a kayak tour through the heart of \u00c5lesund! The guided trips are perfect for inexperienced kayakers, and let\u2019s be honest, admiring the city from the water is\u2014aside from from a mountaintop\u2014one of the most quintessentially Norwegian things you can do in \u00c5lesund.
