Bispehuen is located in the island's largest raw material tomb, where you can see the alternating layers of volcanic ash and piers in the exposed slopes. The bishop's hat consists of a spectacular pillar of folded piers, and the name is inspired by the shape of the pillar itself. A little from Bispehuen is the bronze sculpture "Molermanden". The sculpture looks out over the man-made landscape, the fjord and Livø, which are visible in the distance.
