Travel Information
From Myre leads an adventurous gravel road on the coast north to Nyksund. The single-lane track is mostly carved out of the cliffs. On one side, the rock rises vertically, while on the other is the surf of the raging North Atlantic.
The few streets in Nyksund are very narrow or very steep or both. Therefore, visitors have to park outside. The walk to Nyksund is not long.
