Molde Archipelago

Molde Archipelago

The Molde Archipelago is a chain of about 50 tree-clad islands and islets, 2 km south the city of Molde, Norway. The archipelago is public, protected land, and a recreational resort. The main island, Hjertøya, hosts the Museum of Fisheries, a collection of maritime culture from the 17th-19th centuries, and is serviced by water taxi from Molde.

Access to the islands is free and unrestricted, but in compliance with the guidelines of Molde's Park and Environmental Department.
