According to the legend of the poet Snorri Sturlusen, Harald I, also known as Harald Schönhaar, is buried in Haraldshaugen (Haraldshügel), two kilometers north of the city center. At this point, the national monument representing Norway's independence was erected in 1872.

Hiking

Historical site - The national monument is located on a hiking trail along the coast and can be easily reached on foot. However, it is also a popular stop for buses and trams. Therefore, it can be crowded at times, but is still worth a visit.
