- for those who want to enjoy nature in peace and quiet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trip to Eiger\u00f8y lighthouse and accommodation in lighthouse keeper's house<\/a> is perfect for those who want to enjoy nature in peace and quiet. Come to the car park at Eiger\u00f8y lighthouse<\/a> by car or bike. The bicycle you can hire from the Tourist Office<\/a>. Book your accommodation at Eiger\u00f8y fyr. The area is great for canoeing and kayaking, but remember to check the wave forecast<\/a> before embarking on a paddle trip in the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eiger\u00f8y lighthouse is located in the centre of the characteristic \"moon\" landscape that is unique to Egersund and the surrounding area. The rocks in the landscape consist of anorthosite, which was formed deep in the earth about 930 million years ago. Anorthosite is a rare rock on earth, but everyone has seen it anyway - it's anorthosite that you're looking at when you look at the bright fields on the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
