Open in Komoot →# A trip to Norway's last staffed lighthouse Bøkfjord Fyr is a hidden gem on Holmengrålandet – a place where history meets panoramic views. This was Norway's *last* staffed lighthouse before it was automated in 2006. The trip starts calmly from Reinøysund with fine views over Bøkfjorden, before the terrain becomes more rugged the closer you get to your destination. The first 4 km are marked, then signs guide you further through Norskedalen to the lighthouse station. When you arrive, history awaits you: See the remains of the German coastal defense fort, and think about how the Germans destroyed the original lighthouse in 1944. What stands today was built in 1947–48 – a triumph after war and destruction. **Perfect for those who love the meeting of nature, views and the past.**
