Dønna
0
To the west, you can see the large and fertile island of Dønna, which has been inhabited since the Stone Age. At the heart of the island lies Dønnes Farm and Dønnes Church, a stone church from the 13th century. Beneath the church is an old burial chamber, the final resting place for noblemen and estate owners. The farm offers accommodation and local food, making it a popular destination for those seeking a blend of history and tranquility. Dønna is ideal for cycling, kayaking, coastal walks, and culinary experiences. You can bike through villages and farmland, or paddle through narrow straits and inlets with views of both mountains and the open sea. This is an island that invites you to be present — among people, stories, and nature, all living side by side. The island is connected by ferry from Bjørn to Sandnessjøen and Løkta, and by bridge to Herøy. It’s also home to the legendary Dønnamannen — but that’s another story. Stay tuned!
