Heimværet

Heimværet is the largest and tallest island in Sør-Gjæslingan, rising 38 metres above the sea — a striking landmark in this historic archipelago off Vikna. Drop anchor here and you're right in the heart of one of Norway's best-preserved fishing village sites, where the island was once divided into family sectors, each working their own stretch of land and sea. It's a raw, atmospheric spot with real history beneath your feet.
