Location: Bodø Municipality, Norway.
Text by Kjerringoy Narmiljokontor.
Kjerringoy is a small village in Nordland about 40 km north of Bodo, and is part of Bodo Local Community. In the period of 1906-1964, Kjerringoy was a local community of it’s own. We have approximately 300 inhabitants.
Kjerringoy is well known for very beautiful and varied scenery, the well kept old trading centre, an active population and a wide aspect of societies. Every other year the so-called Kjerringøy-days are arranged. The landscape, and especially the old trading centre, has been used as background in several movies.
Kjerringoy achieved a European village-development price in the year 2000. The possibilities for fishing and outdoor life are good the whole year through. The village do have a postal-function, general store, school for pupils up to 16 years old, kindergarten and a spare-time arrangement for kids who don’t get their parents home before they have finished school. The distance to Bodo allows the possibility of working in the city, and get back again in a reasonable hour.
There is a ferry and the boat takes approximately 10 minutes. Getting there by bus may be a challange, a rental car should be better.
We are occupied with the idea of having people visit us, yes, even move here. Our vision is to get the population up to 400 by the end of 2010.
