Notes
Gimsøy church is one of the most rewarding spots on the island – you could easily spend an entire day here exploring different perspectives. The historic wooden church from 1876 is photogenic from virtually every angle. Walk through the churchyard to the small beach at the rear, where a beautiful view of the church opens up framed by trees. In calm conditions, the still water offers a perfect reflection.
