Nyksund
A former fishing village that was abandoned and later revived by artists and entrepreneurs. Wooden harbor houses are reflected in the narrow bay.
Nyksund was a prosperous fishing port in the 19th century. In the 1970s, after its population left, it became a "ghost town." It was later restored and now attracts visitors with colorful wooden houses, old harbor storehouses, guesthouses, galleries, and cafés. The village can only be reached by a gravel road or on foot, and the atmosphere is calm. It works well as a stop along the Queen's Route hike, or as a place to eat fish soup at a small seaside restaurant. It is about 80 km from Andenes.
