Saturday June 29th: Lecture on the Dunlin

German ornithologists Hans Ulrich Rösner and Batbara Ganter has visited Slettnes Nature Reserve every summer since 1991(!) to document and research on the Dunlin. On Saturday, they will share their knowledge  with us. The lecture will be given in English in the lighthouse officer's house at 17:00. Free entrance. Welcome!

Saturday June 8th: Summer season opening

From this very first Saturday, waffles and other wonders will again be available, every day from 11 am to 6 pm. A little photo exhibition on the lighthouses of Finnmark by renowned photographer Rune Nylund Larsen may add an extra flavour to a visit. Guided tours in the tower depart every hour from noon, whereas guided tours in the nature reserve may be arranged for groups. Welcome!

This wonderful picture, taken by biologist, photographer and guide Roy Erling Wrånes a couple of years ago, very well sums up the feeling of being at Slettnes right now: Incredibly hot, sunny and... pleasant!
