Fedje

Fedje www.fedje.org is an island off the coast of West Norway.

Fedje is also the name of the archipelago of over a hundred islands that surrounds the main island, and the name of the municipality that administers the islands.

The two lighthouses in Fedje are both rented out to visitors for several weeks a year.
