Ole Bull Museum Lysøen — Attraction in Bjørnafjorden

I visited this place, on a sunny summer day.You arrive by sea, sailing in a small boat through Light's fjord (Lysefjord), until you reach a small jetty.It is a bucolic place, ideal to spend the day, it is a place to relax and feeling the pure nature, the Scandinavian forest, birds, mosses rooted over the barks of the trees, the shades of green;This island is a paradisiacal place, the house-museum is spectacular and more the life of this great and clever man and musician prodigious, doubly from Bergen, as He liked to tell. Ole Bull has left great events in his life and where He lived (USA for example) unfortunately, little recognized worldwide. Close to Bull Museum there is a small coffe place, in whose terrace, you can enjoy a good coffe-cup or teacup and a delicious slice of carrot's cake, admiring amazing Norwegian landscapes.It's paradise to watercolour painters ;). Ole Bull your energy and your legacy are alive still...

A trip to Ole Bull's summer house on Lysoya is a must for visitors to Bergen. After a one hour journey by tram, bus and boat you will find yourself in a magic place and a long gone time... Once on the "Isle of Light"(Lysoya) visit the museum an listen to the fantastic lifestory of this in his time world- famous Norwegian violinist, carefully but not without tongue in cheek told by the historian-tourguide. The little cafe next to the house serves tea, coffee and wonderful "gulrotkake" (carrot cake) and offers a nice view onto garden and fjord. However the best view can be enjoyed from the observation tower on the island's highest peak, about 15 minutes walk from the house. Don't miss it, you won't regret it! Journey and entrance fee to the house are free for "Bergen...

The museum is for 2023 closed. There are a lot of trail ways where you can walk. You can go around the island. The biggest negative thing is the boat how brings you to the island. The last one goes at 4:30 p.m.. So we want to talk the last ship. The problem was, that the captain and his job at 3:30 p.m.. So we are sitting at this island and now ship come. A man how love on that island see us and bring as back the the land. Thank you to that very helpful man!!!! He told us that the captain a terrible man is. Because he forgot very offen the pralle and end his job earlier than it is allowed. So be carful...
