Fitjar is Sunnhordland’s island maze - a municipality in Vestland where Viking kings once clashed, salmon now school in floating farms, and kayakers zigzag through 350 islands like it’s a sport. With around 3,200 residents and a coastline that’s more archipelago than asphalt, Fitjar is the kind of place where history and saltwater go hand in hand - and the local statue wears a golden helmet just to prove it.
