Discover Davik: fjord, history and finding a hotel

Explore Davik through three distinct interests: the fjord coast, historic sites and outdoor activities. Hauesanden is a small sandy beach; at Davik Church, a long history of the site, a Baroque pulpit and memories of Claus Frimann come together. Jørntunet offers another perspective, with a farmhouse dating from the mid-19th century and a cultural landscape with historic features. For active hours, there is a three-hour introductory sea kayaking course and opportunities for mountain biking in the mountains above Davik. Tailor your hotel search to the things that interest you most about Davik.

Hauesanden by the fjord

Hauesanden, a small sandy beach in Davik, lies by the fjord. The site is a developed bathing area with road access and parking, as well as toilets and showers in a service building. This makes Hauesanden a practical bathing spot to include in your plans. As facilities may change, it is advisable to check their current status before visiting.

Davik Church and the history of the site

According to historical accounts, there has been a church on the site of Davik Church for at least 680 years. Davik Church was completed in 1886. These details refer to different historical aspects: the long history of the church site and the year the church was completed.

The pulpit is particularly striking. It probably dates from the early 17th century, is carved in the Dutch style and is considered one of Norway’s most distinctive Baroque pulpits. Near the church, the Frimann Stone stands on a small hill surrounded by seven large pine trees. Claus Frimann planted his own poet’s grove of pines near the church. In 1936, the congregation of Davik Church erected a monument to the poet and priest Claus Frimann. The pulpit, the church site and the various connections to Frimann offer different ways to explore Davik’s history.

Jørntunet and the cultural landscape

Jørntunet is an old farmhouse in Davik, built in the mid-19th century. The property includes a main dwelling, two mill houses, a fire house and a barn. It is set in a cultural landscape with stone walls, ramparts, planted trees and apple orchards. Both the buildings and the landscape features are part of what you can explore here.

Jørntunet offers a different historical focus from the church: the farmhouse, its associated buildings and the cultural landscape take centre stage, while the church is associated with its pulpit and the history of the site. This gives you two specific and distinct themes to explore during a stay in Davik.

Sea kayaking and mountain biking

The introductory sea kayaking course in Davik lasts three hours. A certified instructor teaches basic paddling techniques, safety measures and how to handle the equipment. On completion, participants receive a Våttkort course certificate. The course duration makes it easy to plan into your day. Course formats and certification requirements may change; check these details when booking.

Another activity option is mountain biking in the mountains above Davik, with great views of the Nordfjord. Those looking for a fixed schedule and instruction will find these features in the introductory sea kayaking course; mountain biking, by contrast, is described in terms of the mountains and views of the fjord. These are different activity profiles to consider when planning your stay.
