Serving as a WWII museum and memorial, this defensive fortification was erected by
Nazi forces in 1940. Various armaments and a network of bunkers and soldiers' quarters
are dispersed around the hill with the sick bay and store sunk deep inside the mountain.
Draagen Smokehouse
FACTORY
( 95 86 44 25; by appointment)
Petter Aune set up this operation, where freshly caught Aukra salmon are smoked with
pure local wood and herbs, after tiring of the poor quality industrial product. It's one of
only a few left in Norway and the resulting salmon does indeed have the elusive 'smakupp-
levelse' - a melt-in-your-mouth quality. Come here to see the process, sample and buy.

This unpretentious place attracts people from miles around. 'People weep if they arrive and
find it closed,' said the lady in the visitors centre, with perhaps just a touch of exaggera-
tion. They come for coastal comfort food: fish soup, two varieties of fish ball, salted
coalfish, and, of course klipfish (Norway's largest klipfish-drying sheds are just up the
road).
