Måløy: Måløybrua
Måløysundet defines the setting of Måløy — the narrow sound separates the island town from the mainland and concentrates its harbour, road link and coastal activity along the water. Måløy Bridge carries National Road 15 across the sound, connecting the town with routes that continue east through Nordfjord. Måløy is an important fishing port on Norway’s west coast, with quays and marine businesses forming part of its working identity. In 1941, the town was the target of Operation Archery, a British commando raid during the Second World War. On Vestland’s outer coast, dense settlement and maritime industry sit beneath rugged coastal hills.

Among the regions of Norway, Vestland stands out for fjords that cut deep into a coast backed by high mountains. Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, reaches far inland, while Hardangerfjord is closely associated with orchards and spring blossom. The county extends from wave-battered islands and sheltered coastal communities to valleys, waterfalls and upland terrain. Bergen, Vestland’s largest city, developed as a Hanseatic trading centre; its wooden Bryggen wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Maritime life, mountain routes and farming communities meet here.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
