General information about the property:
Are you looking for the ultimate and unique adventure in the Barents Sea, the absolute highlight of Nordic sea fishing with a fishing rod? Then you have come to the right place here in Gjesvær, at the northernmost mainland point in Europe - the North Cape on the Barents Sea. We are pleased to present you the destination with 3 properties.
Edelh-Polar-1" is located on the northernmost latitude that our company currently has on offer. The fully equipped and renovated apartment with 100 m² of living space is located on the ground floor and the 1st floor of a typical local fisherman's house directly on the harbor / jetty facing south, with a separate entrance. Downstairs, on the ground floor of the house, is the Edelhs Polar 2 holiday apartment for 4 people, also with its own entrance.
In front of the property on the quay there is a large jetty with moorings for local fishing boats and a floating bridge where the boats are also moored. On the water side below the house there is a covered fish cleaning area. For example, you can use a grill house on the jetty for a social evening get-together or watch the midnight sun from the terrace and, with a bit of luck, the northern lights (Aurora borealis). From the terrace and the shore, or from the grill house, there is a wonderful view of the Arctic Sea and the nearby bird cliff Gjesværstappan. The clear air and the green areas with tender grasses make the immediate area a paradise in summer, at the time of the midnight sun.
