Kiberg

The historic fishing village of Kiberg is known for its Pomor trade, Russian fishing, and its war heroes, the partisans. Welcome to Kiberg, located under midnight sun or Northern Lights, just south of Kibergsneset - the easternmost point on the mainland of Norway.

Kiberg has a population of around 200 and is situated approximately 10 km southwest of the municipal center Vardø. The village has rich history, from the times of Pomor trade and World War II. During the war, a lot of young men from Kiberg travelled to the Soviet Union for guerrilla training and returned to Norway to become a part of the resistance movement in Norway.

In short, there is much nature waiting to be explored in and around Kiberg. The wild landscape stretches out with bird cliffs, fishing spots, and rugged rocks. You can also encounter rivers full of jumping fish and leaping salmon, snow-covered plateaus, exotic king crabs, and of course a whole lot of spirited birds. This is a place for being outdoors, and perhaps enjoy deep-sea fishing, check out the whale and king crab safaris, among other Arctic activities. And the reindeers – oh, the reindeers!

Being a fishing village, it’s kind of obvious what most people work with. But there also local providers offering accommodation, food and activites for tourists and visitors.
