Tour suggestions and tour book (Kjentmannsprøven)
WALKING IN HISTORIC SURROUNDINGS
Hitra’s history begins with the first people who came here over 10 000 years ago. Those who came across the ice, from different parts of Europe. Settlements from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age have been identified at Hitra. And there have been settlements here ever since. Here we give some suggestions for historically interesting places to visit. Stroll in peace and quiet, learn, speculate, enjoy nature and the fresh air.

BIKE RIDES
There are no organized bike rides at Hitra. However, if you have your own bike and visit the island on two wheels you might have a wonderful experience. Bicycle tourism is not big in the area, so it’s a good idea to bring your own repair kit . For other things there is a well-equipped sports shop at Fillan.
There is, unfortunately, a lot of heavy truck traffic on some of the roads of Hitra and Frøya. The FV 714 is very busy due to the export of farmed salmon. But some areas with less traffic are safe for cyclists of all ages. A map of Hitra that will be useful on a bike ride can be purchased at the tourist information at the Coastal Museum in Fillan and at the expressboat terminal at Sandstad.
