Walked a bit on the island, but you cannot go far as movement is restricted on the majority of the island due to birds nesting. This is a sanctuary island for birds.
I also visited the Tautra Mariakloster. It's a community of eleven nuns who live in the rather strict and ascetic Cistercian {Trappistine) life. They live mostly in silence, avoid talking, and have a vegetarian-based diet, that includes fish and eggs as well. They have a small shop where they sell soap, lotions, and balsams that they make in the monastery. The actual monastery is closed from visitors, but you can visit the shop and the visitors center which tells about the history of their monastic order as well as the history of the monastery in Tautra in the past and present. Also their church is open to visit. It's quite spectacular to visit as from the church you have a view to the Trondheim fjord and to nature. They have incorporated nature into the design of this new monastery and church which was completed in 2006.Læs mere
