Bokn
Bokn is Rogaland’s island whisper — a compact municipality of three main islands (Ognøya, Austre Bokn, and Vestre Bokn) where fjords meet farmland and WWII bunkers peek through the heather. With fewer than 900 residents, Bokn is one of Norway’s smallest municipalities by population, but it packs in history, hiking, and heritage like a seasoned sailor’s duffel. It’s a place where the sea has always shaped life — from Viking burial mounds to modern fish farming.

Getting There
Bokn is located along the E39 coastal highway between Stavanger and Bergen. The islands are connected to the mainland via bridges, and ferries cross Boknafjorden to Rennesøy. The administrative center is Føresvik, and villages like Arsvågen and Trosnavåg are reachable by car or bus. The planned Rogfast undersea tunnel will further improve access.
