A cheap summer day on the water. From Ravnkloa the boat takes fifteen minutes out to Munkholmen, which has been an execution site, a monastery, a fortress and a prison. Bring food, swim from the island and join the tour of the fortress. Back in town you can swim at Sjøbadet on St. Olavs pir, whose history goes back to the 1800s, or at Pirbadet if it rains. Both baths have student prices.
