Hamnnes, Heritage trading post in Uløya Island, Norway
The Hamnnes trading post stands at the southern end of Uløya Island, surrounded by mountains and the Rotsundet strait waters.
Archaeological discoveries indicate continuous human presence in Hamnnes for over 6000 years, with stone age artifacts found across the area.
The Giæver family has maintained ownership of this northernmost Norwegian trading post since 1868, preserving traditional fish production methods.
Visitors reach Hamnnes exclusively by regular ferry service connecting to Rotsund and Uløybukta, with accommodation available in several historic houses.
The site received the Olavsrosa recognition in 2014 for maintaining active trading operations while preserving its 19th-century architectural elements.
