Nipehyttene are in the West, or what we call ’Vestlandet’, in one
of our 19 counties; Møre og Romsdal. This county is dominated by
its wild and ravishing scenery, with its steep mountains and deep
fjords, hence its popularity with visiting tourists from all over the world.
The coastal landscape with its many fjords, can offer many a beautiful
ferry trip, so make sure you check the ferry schedules in advance when
planning trips by car.

Apart from the beautiful scenery at Sunnmøre, our part of the county,
the nearby small town of Ørsta, is the place of birth of the very famous
Ivar Aasen. The linguist, poet and author is called the “father” of nynorsk,
one of our two written languages in Norway. You can explore this further
at Aasentunet, the cultural centre for Nynorsk.
