Havøysund NSR Part 2

After looking at all the rocks we continued on down the road. Next stop? One of the most disappointing rest stops. It had these three seats/bird blind looking things and it looked really nice in the photos I saw online…but in person? I was like this is it? Really?!? My photos look better than it was…when you are driving up they look tiny and you might not have even noticed it was a rest stop if there wasn’t a sign pointing to it. So strange as most of them are much nicer!

Then it was up and over the pass where all the reindeer were! They were all over the mountain! Then down to another rest stop with a fun squiggly walkway down to the beach. This also was not as nice as I had expected based on the photos online, but the area was gorgeous so…and it was still fun walking through it even if it was much smaller than I thought it would be. And the sand was kind of pink in spots which was fun. And lots of coral and shells on the beach.

Then on to the last stop - Havøysund where there is an art piece of two giant glass objects (according to the sign „The objects exude silence in a weather-beaten and beautiful corner of the world, where the variations of light - midnight sun, northern lights and winter darkness - are constantly creating new moods.

The building that embraces and protects the art installation is an integral part of the artwork“). These were also not what I was expecting, but in a good way! I thought they were going to be tiny so bigger was fun!

Then it was up the hill above town to see the views, which were gorgeous! And back to the squiggly rest stop for lunch.Read more
