We are now sailing along Hareidlandet and passing Hareid. It is a lively small town that functions as an important commercial center on the southern side of Sunnmøre. Just a ten-minute drive away is Ulsteinvik, known as the heart of one of the world's most innovative shipbuilding industries. Here you will find, among others, Kleven Verft and Ulstein Group, both with a rich history and internationally recognized for their groundbreaking ship designs and advanced offshore vessels. Hareidlandet is one of the largest islands in Norway and rich in sporting achievements. In Ulsteinvik you will find the football club Hødd, which has been at the top of Norwegian football for decades, and won the Norwegian Championship in 2012, among other things. Ulsteinvik is also the hometown of world star Karsten Warholm, Olympic champion and world record holder in the 400 meter hurdles. Åge Hareide, known as both a national team coach and former top player in Norwegian and international football, also comes from Hareid. Together, Hareid and Ulsteinvik form an area characterized by both industrial strength and strong sports traditions – all surrounded by magnificent nature and beautiful fjord landscapes that reflect the rich history and future-oriented driving force of Sunnmøre.
