OCTOBER 23-25 AND OCTOBER 29 - NOVEMBER 1 2026

The autumn holidays offer loads of cosy comforts and community – and a few creepy things, too!

The autumn school holidays, from October 23rd to November 1st, is time to get together. Getting comfy. Bring candles and slippers. Get yourself and the kids a getaway. Some good time with your family. Restaurant Solviken is open. But then there’s that other thing …

If you dare ...

Well, the other thing ... Apelviken dressed in autumn colors, a walk along the dark sea out to Subbe Lighthouse on a November evening is just about as much cozy fright as we can handle. But there are also rumors of a strangely, disturbingly delicious ghost breakfast at Nisses.

But for those who want an especially spooky autumn break, there’s Halloweekend: a package with a a kit to make your apartment,  caravan or motorhome terrifyingly scary yourself, a pumpkin workshop, ghost walk, and all sorts of frightful experiences.

Circus Appis

It’s said that once upon a time, a circus stood on this very spot. Long before sun, surf, holidays, and swimming. A circus full of magic, laughter, and pranks. Then suddenly it disappeared. Gone! No one really knows what happened. Even less why. Was it a tragic accident, a violent death, or just a slow fading away that brought it to an end? Someone claims to have heard that a curse rests on this ground… and every year, during Halloweekend, the circus comes back to life. The ringmaster roams the night, searching for new souls to drag into an eternal performance.

Halloweekend is the family weekend of spooky coziness, where of course we scare the living daylights out of parents, siblings, and staff. We don’t go to bed on time and eat far too many sweets. Trick or treat?
