Another attraction well worth visiting is Kristiansand cannon museum at Møvik fortress. The fortress was built by the German Navy during WW2, and the museum offers fascinating insights into the war’s history. Today, the dramatic past feels close yet far away as you ride the old ammunition railway through the tranquil and idyllic scenery with panoramic views over the archipelago in Kristiansand.
