The "white" port city of Grimstad, with its enchanting white wooden houses, is considered the sunniest city in Norway and one of the most stylish cities in the kingdom. The massive wooden church, which stands as a symbol visible from afar on the scenic Kirkeheia Hill, can seat over 1,000 people. The offshore archipelago, one of the most beautiful in southern Norway, is just as enchanting as the “Hamsun Ruslepor” (Hamsun’s Walking Trail), named after the Norwegian Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun. His work *On Overgrown Paths* (1949) describes Hamsun’s hikes through the area along the idyllic, unspoiled trail from Grimstad to Dømmesmoen. The picturesque horticultural gardens of Dømmesmoen and the panoramic view from the observation tower above the Horticultural Museum offer a completely different kind of fascination. > From the parking lot in front of Kirkeheia (ChurchHill), head down to the left first, then after 50 meters turn right onto the blue-marked Hamsun Trail (signpost). The trail leads uphill over wooden steps and along a fence to the small rocky hill Mollerheia. From here, the hill—with its throne-like panoramic chair—offers a spectacular view of Grimstad and the harbor bay with the small islands off its coast. Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun walked this trail at the age of 86 while he was confined to the hospital in Grimstad. After his shoes wore out, he had to write a letter asking for new ones and set out on the trail to find a mailbox. The route begins on a beautiful rocky trail, well-marked with wooden posts, and eventually leads along a comfortable forest path through a charming deciduous grove with wonderfully lush vegetation. To the left, a path branches off for a detour to the 02Fløyheia viewpoint, which once again offers a beautiful view of Grimstad. The trail then continues over rocky terrain on the Hamsun Trail; in some places, ropes are installed to aid the descent. The trail soon heads steeply downhill through deciduous forest again, until it reaches the paved road Frivoldveien. Here, we turn right and walk uphill to 03the old Grimstad hospital, where Hamsun was once imprisoned and where the Hamsun-Ruslepor trail ends. Turn left onto an asphalt road, go straight at the roundabout, and at the fork, turn left through the underpass beneath the E18. You can now follow this path straight ahead toward Frivoldalen, and at the second fork, continue straight ahead (to the left) to the Dømmesmoen gardens.Here, you can choose either the first or second path to the left; both lead straight ahead to the paved road Fjæreveien and to theDømmesmoen Garden Museum. Turn left at the parking lot up ahead, right at the information board, and continue straight up the narrow paved path through the beautiful green deciduous and mixed forest to the fork, where the trail then winds steeply uphill to the left toward the 05Tårnet Observation Tower. From the top, covered level, you’ll enjoy a sweeping view of the city’s landscape with the archipelago coast in the foreground and, in the opposite direction, across the vast grasslands of the hinterland. Follow the same path you took on the way up back to the fork, then take the same route back—or, alternatively, continue straight ahead (to the left) on the beautiful forest trail (marked) to the parking lot at the Horticultural Museum. You can now return either by retracing your steps back to Grimstad or, for a slightly shorter route, by taking the wide sidewalk along Fjæreveien. At the fork, turn left onto Opplandsveien and continue straight across the overpass over European Route 18 ( 06), with the striking steeple of the imposing wooden church clearly in view, directly to the Grimstad Harbor Promenade ( 07). To the left, the promenade path—with magnificent views of the bay and the charming row of houses—leads along the shore to the harbor. From there, turn left and head up the church hill, enjoying an excellent view of the city, back to the starting point at the parking lot in front of 01Kirkeheia.

Die Hafenstadt Grimstad an den Schären der Sørlandsküste ist Norwegens Stadt mit den meisten Sonnenstunden. Vom Yachthafen führt der Wanderweg über Aussichtshügel zum Park Dømmesmoen, in dem sich das Norwegische Gartenbaumuseum und 2000 Jahre alte Steinsetzungen befinden und ein Aussichtsturm erneut ein überragendes Panorama gewährt. ​▶ Die Tourist Information Grimstad 01 am Yachthafen residiert in bester Aussichtslage im Sorenskrivergården, einem weiß gestrichenen Holzbau von 1861 am Beginn der Fußgängerzone Storgaten; sie verleiht auch Fahrräder und Boote. Den Hafen überragen einige der fünf aussichtsreichen Stadtberge: im Norden der Binabben und die Kirkeheia mit der Kirche – unser erstes Zwischenziel – sowie im Süden die Vardeheia. Nach Queren der Reichsstraße 420 an der Ampelanlage führt die Fußgängerzone Storgaten zwischen weißen Holzhäusern schräg rechts weiter zum Marktplatz Torvet am Fuß des 27 m hohen Kirchhügels Kirkeheia 02, der einen exzellenten Blick auf den Hafen und die Stadt bietet; die von einem Park mit alten Bäumen umgebene Grimstad kirke wurde 1881 in Holz errichtet, das Gotteshaus bietet mehr als 1000 Menschen Platz. Beim Parkplatz an der Straße Kirkegaten im Westen des Kirchhügels beginnt der Hamsun-Wanderweg, der im Grünen westwärts führt im Hang des Hügels Møllerheia. Am Wegrand stehen Tafeln mit Zitaten aus dem autobiografischen Alterswerk-Bestseller "Auf verwachsenen Pfaden" (1949) des Literaturnobelpreisträgers Knut Hamsun, der diesen Weg als 86-Jähriger durchwanderte und 1952 auf seinem Gut Nørholm bei Grimstad starb.Vom Fahnenhügel Fløyheia 03, der noch einmal Blick auf die Stadt und das Meer gewährt, senkt sich der Weg zur Straße Frivoldveien, diese führt im Grünen rechts hinauf, vor der Brücke der Europastraße 18 04 zweigt ein autofreier Weg ins idyllische Tal Frivoldalen ab und erreicht das Gartenparadies Dømmesmoen 05. Das Gelände mit seinen Wanderwegen ist bestens ausgeschildert, so dass man einen individuellen Weg zum Gartenbaumuseum Norsk Hagebruksmuseum wählen kann; es befindet sich an der Straße Fjæreveien, die zur nahen Steinkirche von Fjære führt. Bei klarer Sicht lohnt der Abstecher zum Aussichtsturm auf dem Wanderweg, der unter dem Namen "Dømmesmoen ruslespor" ausgeschildert ist: Nach Queren des Fjæreveien führt er im Wald hinauf zum 12 m hohen, stabilen hölzernen Aussichtsturm 06. Von der überdachten oberen Etage fällt der Blick zurück auf die Stadt und die Schärenküste sowie weit landeinwärts. Vom Aussichtsturm geht es zurück durch den Park von Dømmesmoen 05 zum Wanderweg im Frivoldalen sowie unter der Europastraßenbrücke 04 her und an der Abzweigung zur Fløyheia geradeaus auf der Straße Frivoldveien, am Ende links hinab auf der Storgaten, bis rechts die Straße Staregrømsveien abzweigt, nächste links Lillegaten, geradeaus übergehend in Vestregate, am Lillesandsveien kurz rechts, bis links der Høyvardeveien zum Aussichtshügel Verdeheia abzweigt. Vom Varden muss man kurz zurück zum Høyvardeveien, links hinab zur Straße Vardegaten und zur Reichsstraße 420: Links hinter dem Busbahnhof liegt der Ausgangspunkt am Sportboothafen 01.
