Fjærland Book Town
Den norske bokbyen, Fjærland
A fjord village at the foot of a glacier, where old barns and ferry waiting rooms have been turned into used bookshops, creating a relaxed summer atmosphere.
Fjærland (Mundal village) is Norway's book town. In summer, its old barns, ferry waiting rooms, stables, and even roadside sheds have become second-hand bookshops and honor-system book stalls, holding hundreds of thousands of volumes. The village is home to Fjærland Hotel, a wooden hotel that opened in 1891 and overlooks Fjærland Fjord. It is about 3 km from the Norwegian Glacier Museum, so the two can be visited together.
Opening hours
