Halsafjord

Halsafjord is a waterway in Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal that stretches inland from the Vinjefjord between Heim and Tingvoll municipalities. The fjord narrows and widens in places, with steep rocky walls rising directly from the water and forested mountainsides framing the view.

The fjord served as a maritime route for Norse communities in the earliest settlement periods. It connected coastal settlements and facilitated trade along the Norwegian coast through successive centuries.

Local fishing traditions across Halsafjord's waters reflect generations of maritime expertise, with methods passed down through Norway's coastal communities.

The European route E39 crosses the fjord via a car ferry connecting communities on both shores. Check the ferry schedules before traveling, as waiting times can vary with the season and weather conditions.

Engineers have proposed constructing a bridge with a floating tower design to span the water due to its extreme depth. This ambitious project would create a striking modern landmark to replace the current ferry crossing.
