Grip
A tiny fishing village on an archipelago in the open sea, with a small wooden church and lighthouse. It is one of the most remote small fishing villages in Norway.
Grip lies in the open sea about 14 km northwest of Kristiansund, made up of more than 80 small islets and rocks. It was once Norway's smallest municipality, and today it has no permanent residents, only holiday-home users in summer. The island has a wooden church dating to about the 15th century and colorful fishing sheds, and a lighthouse from 1888 stands to the north. In summer, take a fast boat from Kristiansund for about 30 minutes. Sailings are infrequent, so most visitors stay on the island for 2 to 3 hours. Check the timetable in advance, as service stops when the sea is rough.
