Visit Helgeland
The beautiful coastal town Brønnøysund is situated in the southern part of Helgeland, more or less midway between the southern and northern tips of Norway. The town, which sits on a narrow peninsula surrounded by islets, has excellent restaurants, charming cafés and a thriving coastal culture. Nearby highlights and attractions include Torghatten, the mountain with a hole through it, the lush island of Sømna, and the Vega archipelago, which is an UNESCO World Heritage Area. Depending on your preference, you can explore the sheltered waters by kayak or explore the open landscape by bicycle.
