Ingolf Arnarson statue in Rivedal is a monument to the pioneer spirit in the Dalsfjord prior to the year 1000. Ingolf Arnarson had to flee from his home farm in Rivedal in the year 874 after having killed two of Atle Jarl´s sons. He travelled west and arrived in Iceland where he founded the first permanent settlement. Thus the roots of Iceland as a nation can be traced directly back to Rivedal in the Dalsfjord.

Stongfjorden Join a cultural walk in Norway´s early industrial history. The trail will guide you around the old and venerable industrial village and will show you places that connected the North Europe´s first aluminum plant. The trail is 1.2 km long and has 9 stops. It takes about 40 minutes to walk. Staveneset is located approximately 9 km west of Stongfjorden and is one of the westernmost mainland-points in Norway. You will find 30 burial mounds and 11 rock carvings. Staveneset was a key city during Second World War. English agents monitored ship traffic and would receive help from the permanent residents, something that created dramatic circumstances. Two memorial plaques have been set up, and between them is the emblem of Royal Air Force. You will find a well-marked path to Høgeheia from Stavaneset. The hiking trail will give a panoramic view! Epicenter for the Fjord Coast Regional- and Geopark in the old school house.
