Kvalsund
Nestled within the Hammerfest
Municipality of Finnmark
County, Norway,
lies the charming village of Kvalsund.
Once the administrative center of its own municipality until 2020, Kvalsund
boasts a population of around 288 residents. The village enjoys a scenic
location on the mainland, bordering the Kvalsundet

River meets the sea, adding to the natural beauty of the area. Kvalsund
sits just east of the Kvalsund Bridge,
a vital connection between the mainland and Kvaløya
Island. Visitors can explore the village church, delve into local
history at the Kokelv Chapel, or
