It has an idyllic, coastal-alpine landscape famous around the world from films based on Knut Hamsun\u2019s novels.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Here you will encounter a compact, varied landscape with a host of attractions in a surprisingly small area. It is a unique coastal landscape with wave-smoothed rocks and gleaming white sandy beaches, thriving rural villages and the historical Kjerring\u00f8y Handelssted. Most people still associate the peninsula with Kjerring\u00f8y Handelssted, which enjoyed its golden age in the 1800s. Today, the intact trading post is one of the most important buildings from this period in the whole of Norway. In fact, the unique building has been presented with the Olavsrosa quality label. The area presents insight into the lives of the powerful Nordland merchants, an environment masterfully depicted by Knut Hamsun. The trading post has thus been used in the film adaptations of a number of his novels. Occasionally, the Kjerring\u00f8y Theatre Company presents small tableaus at the old trading post Kjerring\u00f8y Handelssted as part of the organised tours.
