Utøykaia, Ferry landing at Tyrifjorden Lake, Norway

Utøykaia functions as a mainland dock facility situated 600 meters from the ferry landing point at Utøya island in Tyrifjorden lake.

The landing point gained national significance during the events of July 22, 2011, when it served as the departure point for the attack on Utøya island.

A memorial featuring 77 bronze pillars on granite steps marks the location, representing each person who lost their life in the 2011 Norway attacks.

The ferry MS Thorbjørn operates regular crossings between Utøykaia and Utøya island, particularly during Labour Youth League summer camp periods.

The memorial structure interacts with Tyrifjorden's water levels, as rising spring waters gradually submerge the lower granite steps of the monument.
