Kinn Far out in the ocean gap, you can find the green, and gras covered, island Kinn, and its church and characteristic mountain site Kinnaklova. The excellent walking paths and hikes, and the short travel from Florø make Kinn a very popular destination all year around. The island is the home of the beautiful stone church from the Middle Ages. The church’s hosts will hold short prayers with song. There will also be a chance to buy coffee, water, chocolate, and cookies by the church. You can also use the toilets that are situated right by the church entrance.
