    Tips

    Nyksund is a cute little village that has a bit of a ghost town charm. In Holmwik Bruges you can really get to the bottom of the flair of the houses and the place. If you don't want to take the Dronningsruta over Nyksund detour, you are also advised to start in Sto, walk over the mountains and back along the coast and visit Nyksund by car. The road from Myre to Nyksund also offers spectacular views.

      People have been living here at the end of the world for a long time. But life was hard and people kept leaving the village. In the middle of the 20th century it became clear that the harbor was too small for modern fishing boats and so the houses were completely empty by 1977. Nyksund became a ghost town.
      In 1985 a German social worker from the TU Berlin discovered the village. Together with a group of young people he moved here, lived for free and renovated the village. The project only lasted a few years, then some people moved in again and Nyksund became an alternative artists' town. Source: find-the-silence.de/tour-item/2022-06-13-norwegen-vesteralen-nyk
