The Coast Pilgrimage

It is said that several roads led to Nidaros. One of the most important and perhaps most used pathways to the Viking king Olav Haraldsson’s shrine went along the coast and is known as the Kystpilegrimsleia. This used to be Norways main transportation route.

The Kystpilegrimsleia spans from Egersund to Nidaros – today known as Trondheim – and includes 26 key locations. One of them is Sula Chapell in Sula. Here, the church is always open and visitors can get their passport stamped. You can find the stamper in the mailbox by the main entrance. This key location offers a digital tour by using the app “Voice of Norway”, or you can scan the QR code made available on site.

Fr Yadagan 2023

A cultural festival including a market, 3-11th June. Will commence with the bicycle race Tour d Frøya on 3rd June and end with walking the trail “Frøya over” on 11th June. On 9-10th June, there will be, among other things, market stalls in Frøya Square and a concert w/ “JONE. ”Kids show “Karius og Baktus.” A lighthouse named Sletringen Fyr was built in 1923 as a consequence of the fatal accident at Titran. Standing 46 meters tall, it is the tallest lighthouse in Northern Europe. Sletringen Fyr is made up of cast iron and placed on a low reef on the outskirts of the fishing village of Titran. Constructing the lighthouse was a great accomplishment! The lantern was lit for the first time in autumn of 1923 and became a guiding light for fishermen and sailors. The highest point of Sletringen is roughly 3 meters above sea level. The waves easily roll over the islet when there is stormy weather. Even when there is no wind, you will hear the ferocious waves hit and force themselves through every obstacle in their way. The waves turn white with foam every time they hit one of the many capricious islets and reefs surrounding Titran. The mighty Sletringen Fyr was completed and ready for service at the beginning of October 1923.

2023

This means that the lighthouse is celebrating its centenary in 2023. We will be marking this special event on 16th September with activities on Titran suited for the whole family.

If the weather allows it, there will be arranged boat trips to the lighthouse, and the lifeboat will we present. A religious service will be conducted outdoors, and children can enjoy rowing activities and a visit from Elias the little rescue boat. There will be food, an art exhibition, speeches, and the local theatre group will present a teaser from the performance “Titranspelet”. There is no funding for this event, so we are seeking support from various bodies. w/ Frøya Teaterlag, fashion show etc.
