Guided Tour to Nyksund

Step Back in Time: Discover the Story of Nyksund on a Private Guided Tour

Are you fascinated by forgotten places and stories of resilience? Then Nyksund one of the oldest and once-largest fishing villages in Northern Norway is a place you simply can’t miss.

In the 1970s, this once-thriving fishing hub was nearly lost. As modernization took hold and small harbors became obsolete, the Norwegian government offered incentives for residents to leave.

Nyksund fell silent, its homes abandoned, and it slowly turned into a ghost town.

But the story doesn’t end in silence.

In the 1980s and 90s, a group of visionary German students arrived, inspired to revive the village. They began restoring the buildings, reigniting hope, and breathing new life into the abandoned harbor. Their efforts laid the foundation for the rebirth of Nyksund now a vibrant, creative coastal community with a soul rooted in the past.
