If you like statues of horses with funny heads paddling in water you'll love this! to get to them. Try to avoid days the ships are docked as there will be hundreds of people trekking down to see them. Die Köpfe der Pferde symbolisieren die Erdölförderung. Google übersetzt sehr gut die Erklärungstafel am Kunstwerk. Schöner Wanderweg. A beautiful reminder of the change from nature power to fossil fuels and the need for a more sustainable future. The statues are very and the scenery around them is gorgeous. An easy hour from the terminal. Will take you around 1:40 if you’re unfit or need to slowly. Worth a visit. If you’re here by cruise, I recommend going for a to the statues. Don’t take the bus. It’s a 5km walk, so good for your health 😜 but the is definitely worth it. Excellent sightseeing spot with intriguing meaning behind it. I never realised the horses heads represented diggers for fracking until I read a nearby sign. Worth a to see (there’s not much else to do in Haugesund). Great from the port. Took around an hour. Interesting sculptures in the water and further up is an old German gun turret and a lovely sea view. Added bonus was a monument to the unification of Norway and even better there were toilets! It’s a walking trail, and it’s to see the sculptures. To me it is not a must see kind of thing by I defined enjoyed the full and getting there. Pferde Skulpturen im Wasser. Very picturesque coast, though not a great deal to see... The attraction for my wife and I (visiting from a ship) was the nearby tidal pool in which we swam for half an hour - our first fjord swim, and it was wonderful! Cold but a safe and easy place to do it, with easy changing facilities and a feel. Recommend for a couple of hours wander and braver bathers!! Beautiful walk. We walked from the ship which took us about 1 hour 15 mins. Easy stroll along a gravel path. Very simple, but amazingly detailed! The until the statues is also very pleasant We walked from the on a visiting it takes about one and a half hours, firstly through town then onto the but you can stay on the road as it’s probably more direct. Partway there’s a supermarket with toilets for refreshments. You could get the hop on hop of bus from the but there’s still a 15 minute from where the bus stops. Stunning shoreline. A wonderful place to visit. The sculptures are great, especially when the water is high. A good 60 min along the from the terminal We walked from the ship moored in Haugesund. It was a 6.5 mile round trip which was easy to navigate. You can go either through the town centre or along a path. It was a busy route with lots of people choosing to do the walk. It was good to see but nothing special. Walked from the up the sculptures. It took about 3 hours there and back. It was a bit busy and a struggle to get a picture without other tourists being in the pic. The whole area is very to around and worth a visit. The sculpture is about a 40-60 minute along a beautiful scenic once you leave the main town centre area. There are some public toilets nearby but no facilities otherwise. The sculptures are placed in a small cove and are accessible on foot with caution. There is no information board etc explaining the purpose of the sculptured they are just there but I enjoyed looking at them and the beautiful walk. Bit of an anticlimax to be honest! But it was free and we had a lovely along the path. Would have been to have a drink there? Maybe a little pop-up when the ships are in port!
