Rank : 8.9 (average on 10 votes)

Coordinates : 62.396256,5.631008 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Landscapes: spectacular and vertiginous cliffs overlooking the sea in Norway. And 'considered the most "southern" of the "bird island" Norwegian, but it is always more than 62 ° north latitude (so expect sunrises and sunsets soooo long). Birds: It is estimated that nidifichino on the cliffs of the island between 500,000 and 700,000 units of seabirds. Especially puffins (atlantic puffins), gulls, guillemots, fulmars, the cormorants, razorbills, cormorants, skuas, sea eagles. Fauna: sheep / goats, deer, small predators, whales, seals.

Recommended equipment : Tele and super-telephoto for animals and birds, preferably bright (puffins photographing better when they return to their nests in the evening). Super wide angle lens for landscapes.

Best months : From April 15 to August 31, coinciding with the nesting period of the species on the reef, it is strictly forbidden to enter the protected area. Transit along the trails is allowed instead.

How to get there : The island of Runde is located in the region of More and Romsdal not far from the city of Alesund which is a good access point. By car from Oslo or Trondheim reach Dombas on the E6, then the RV9 Alesund. Take the RV61 from Spjelkavik to Sulesund (ferry Sulesund-Hareid). From Bergen to follow the R1 (ferry Rjanes-Eiksund or Koparnes-Arvik). For overnight stays, I highly recommend the Goksoyr Camping. Small but with plots, bungalows and a communal building that serves as a kitchen, living room and laundry. The manager is very friendly, knows the island well and will not tell you congratulations for all locations and the best times to photograph the puffins and other species of the island. Since the island there are many places to eat you should take the necessary (s stoves are provided by the campsite).

Visits : Access to the trails is free.

Notes : There is a specific web site, however you can find lots of information and links on http://www.insel-runde.de/hp_runde/index1.htm (especially for those who speak German, but there are also pages in English and Italian) and http://www.runde.nl/ (in Dutch).
