The ropewalk from 1868 is from the island of Fur in the Liim Fjord.

In the rope maker’s workshop – the hackling room – the raw materials, mainly hemp, were hackled/combed. When spinning a rope, the rope maker would walk backwards along the walk, continually adding more hemp to the strand, while his wife or a boy turned the spinning wheel.

The finished strands were laid in stake heads and the wooden combs placed in poles along the walk and then laid out as cord or rope.
