Introducing Halden
The soporific border town of Halden, at the end of Iddefjord between steep rocky headlands, possesses a hugely significant history as a cornerstone of Norwegian defence through centuries of Swedish aggression. With a pretty little harbour filled with yachts, a looming fortress rising up behind the town and a sprinkling of decent restaurants, this place makes a worthwhile detour.

The Halden tourist office (69 19 09 80; www.visithalden.com; Torget 2; 9am-4.30pm Mon-Fri mid-Jun–mid-Aug, 9am-3.30pm Mon-Fri rest-of-year), just off Torget, has some useful information. In summer, there is a second office at the fortress, Infosenter (10am-5pm May-Aug).
