Vista panorámica desde Mollerheia. El tope de la colina de Moller.
MollerHeia. Colina del molino. 41.9m sobre el nivel del mar El nombre es antiguo y data de la era en la que los molinos eran más comundes. A principio de 1800 un molino de postes se situaba en este area, aunque cuando el autor Knut Hamsun recorrió el lugar en 1945, el molino había desaparecido. Hamsun se mudó a Eide, en las afueras de Grimstad en 1918. Él había comprado la granja Norholm donde vivió hasta su muerte en 1952. Escribió muchos de sus libros desde su llegada a Grimstad, y aquí vivía cuando recibió en Premio Nobel de literatura en 1920. Su controvertido su apoyo al régimen de Hitler provocó su detección el 14 de Junio de 1945. En su libro "on Overgrown paths" describe sus paseos por el area. Todos esos paseos hicieron que necesitara un par de zapatos. Quería enviar una carta a su granja en Norholm, pero nadie le que quiso ayudar con el envío. Así que, a sus 86 años Hamsun decidió ir andando él mismo hasta correos, situado en el centro de la ciudad. Sin embargo, como no le estaba permitido salir del hospital, para evitar que nadie le viera, cruzó la colina de Floyheia hasta Mollenheia. Hamsun continúo siendo impopular durante muchos años, pero actualmente está considerado uno de los mejores escritores noruegos. Solo Henrik Ibsen is mejor conocido en el extranjero.

MollerHeia. Hill of the mill. 41.9m above sea level The name is ancient and dates back to the era when mills were most common. In the early 1800s a pole mill was located in this area, although when author Knut Hamsun toured the site in 1945, the mill had disappeared. Hamsun moved to Eide, on the outskirts of Grimstad in 1918. He had bought the Norholm farm where he lived until his death in 1952. He wrote many of his books since his arrival in Grimstad, and lived here when he received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1920. His controversial support for Hitler's regime led to his detection on June 14, 1945. In his book "on Overgrown paths" he describes his walks through the area. All those walks made him need a pair of shoes. He wanted to send a letter to his farm in Norholm, but no one wanted to help him with the sending. So, at 86, Hamsun decided to walk himself to the post office in the city centre. However, as he was not allowed to leave the hospital, to prevent anyone from seeing him, he crossed the Floyheia hill to Mollenheia. Hamsun remained unpopular for many years, but is now considered one of Norway's best writers. Only Henrik Ibsen is better known abroad.
