ブレンネイのおすすめツーリングルート

Bronnoysund is a town in the municipality of Brønnøy in the county of Nordland, Norway. A sign in the town center indicates the town's location in the center of Norway. The distance to the North Cape and the Lindesnes Lighthouse (considered the southernmost point of the country) is 840 km.

The Norwegian Aquaculture Center (Norsk Havbrukssenter AS) is a visitor and research facility for modern aquaculture located in Toft, in the Norwegian municipality of Brønnøy, and cooperates with various fish farming companies. The center opened in 2008. The hatchery is accessible via a floating dock. The facility includes a modern feeding platform, an automated feeding system, a control room, underwater cameras, salmon cages, cod cages, and a small aquarium. The aquaculture center is committed to sustainable farming and focuses on the environment beneath the facilities. School classes, kindergartens, tourists, local residents, and stakeholders from the aquaculture industry visit the facility year-round.

The Brønnøysund Bridge (Brønnøysundbrua) is a 550-meter-long, cantilevered concrete bridge that has connected the Norwegian island of Torget with the mainland at Brønnøysund since 1979. With a maximum clearance of 30 meters, it allows ships to pass through and is an important part of the Norwegian road network. Visitors appreciate the bridge not only as a means of transportation, but also for its architecture and the beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, including the famous Torghatten mountain on the island of Torget.

In the town center of Bronnoysund lies Brønnøy Church, a stone church in the Neo-Gothic style dating from 1870. Parts of the chancel and entrance walls date back to the Middle Ages. The church's oldest artifact is a pre-Reformation wooden crucifix.

Brønnøysund lies on a narrow peninsula on the mainland, surrounded by islands and water. Here, you find yourself in the heart of Norway. The small coastal town, with its 5,000 inhabitants, surrounds the narrow but strategically located harbor, where trade and fishing are conducted.

On the Helgeland coast in northern Norway, it's worth keeping an eye out for a particular mountain with a gaping hole: Torghatten. At the center of this imposing, 258-meter-high mountain is a hole that's a whopping 160 meters long, 35 meters high, and 15 to 20 meters wide—large enough for a Hurtigruten ship to sail through! Scientists and geologists alike agree that the Torghatten Hole was formed thousands of years ago during the Ice Age in Scandinavia. The mountain was originally considerably lower and was pushed upward by natural forces over time, as the sea gradually carved a hole through the rock layers.

At this point you are equidistant from the southern tip of Norway at Cape Lindesnes and from Nordkapp, namely 840 KM each.

Relaxed, definitely do the little hike at the end
