Local Tip - Håholmen is not just a hotel – it’s a living museum of Norway’s coastal heritage. Wander freely between historic fishermen’s cottages and take in the salt-scented air of the Atlantic. Don’t miss the small museum on site, where tales of ancient seafarers and Arctic explorers come to life.
