Staying in Lyngdal
You have several choices, but our recommendation is the unique historic hotel Paulsens Hotel & Café from 1894 with carefully preserved 19th-century interiors and home-cooked Danish and Norwegian cuisine.
In summer, guests can relax in the hotel garden, which includes a barbecue area. Concerts and other entertainment are regularly arranged.
The 17th-century Lindesnes Lighthouse, the oldest in Norway, is just a 30-minute drive from Paulsens Hotell.
The staff can help organize fishing, hiking and other recreation, and guests can buy green fees for Kvinesdal og Omegn Golf Club.
The hotel was a popular destination for German salmon lords. It closed its doors in 1971, but is now reopened and the staff is now even dressed in the original old costumes.
