Runde: Rundebrua
Runde has served as a fishing community in the Sunnmøre district since the 19th century. The island lies at the seaward edge of Møre og Romsdal, where the Norwegian Sea meets a low, rocky coast of inlets, skerries and open water. Runde is linked by the Runde Bridge to neighbouring Remøya, part of the island connections that tie this offshore settlement to Herøy and the mainland. Its steep coastal slopes are internationally known as nesting ground for seabirds, including Atlantic puffins. Offshore, the Dutch East India Company ship Akerendam was wrecked in 1725; coins recovered from the site in 1972 became known as the Runde treasure. Sea routes, fisheries and exposed island terrain still define the place.

The Norwegian Sea defines the setting of Runde — windswept slopes and cliffs on this island make seabirds, fishing and changing weather part of its daily rhythm. Off Norway’s west coast in Møre og Romsdal, Runde is renowned for a major seabird colony, with Atlantic puffins among the species that nest here in season. The island is linked by road via a bridge to neighbouring Remøya, while its coastline faces open water rather than sheltered fjords. Runde also entered maritime-history books after the wreck of the Dutch East India Company ship Akerendam, lost here in 1725, was discovered in 1972.

Fishing, shipbuilding and maritime travel remain central to local life, alongside farming in sheltered coastal and valley communities.

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.
