\n\t\t\t\tFew people go to Helgeland to see the Northern Lights. The few that do, get surprised by lovely winter light, magnificent scenery and and the feeling of meeting hard-working, friendly and hospitable locals in their everyday life. The Northern Lights? Dress warmly and go to the beach!\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Once I sailed along the Helgeland coast by ship in fabulous summer weather, one of the locals said \u201coh, it\u2019s always like this here on the sunny coast\u201d. With a wink and a smile. And surely, the Helgeland <\/a>coast, albeit not always sunny, is fabulous in summer. The word is out, however, hotels and guesthouses fill up quickly, and one should reserve a rental bike early. The 20 000 islands, the busy ferries, the colourful villages and settlements, the view to fairy tale inspiring mountains and the precious historic sites are of course not wrapped up and stored away for the winter. They are of course still there for us to admire, just in a different light. Notably the Northern Lights. If you come here in winter, you find this picturesque coast as it really is. Let me suggest a few of the innumerable beauty spots along this lovely coast, and feel free to prove me wrong by finding some of the others. They are presented in north to south order. <\/p>\n\n\n\t
