Herdla Museum sits at the tip of Askøy island, on the small moraine island of Herdla. During the Second World War, the Germans built a major air base and coastal fort here. The museum houses exhibitions on the base's history, including the wreck of a German fighter plane, and offers guided tours of the Herdla torpedo battery.
Herdla is also one of the richest bird areas in the Bergen region. The island's mix of military ruins and coastal wetlands makes for an unusual combination of war history and nature.
