New life to lost (almost) fishing village

 May 19th Rørvik to Brønnøysund

Between Rørvik and Brønnøysund on the route I usually have chosen you pass through the old fishing village Risværet. Risværet was once a thriving society and was for some periods the leading town in the area. It had a school and a prison. It's said that the school was the smallest in Norway. 

As with many other similar society the transition from sails to engines led to the demise of the society. The last person left in the 1960. When I passed for the first time on 2018 only two houses, or skeletons of houses, was barely standing. 

When browsing the net while passing  in 2018 og 2019 I saw that somebody had bought the former village with the intention to rebuild it in some form or other - dreamer I thought.

But then southbound last year construction work was ongoing on the main island. And this year newly renovated or rebuilt buildings had reappeared. And more work was ongoing.

So for coming years progress for the renovations will give a new interesting side show for this part of any passage.

As for this days trip this was sort of the exciting point even if the landscape even on this gray day in most other countries is really exciting.
