Bolga is characterized by the 339 meter high Bolgfjellet which has been a sailing mark for seafarers who have traveled along the shipping lane through the ages. The hole Bolgbørra runs right through the mountain, and here you can walk over to the other side of the island – an exciting experience.
Bolga has approx. 100 inhabitants, and all live on the southeastern part of the island. Due to the island’s shape and geographical location, it has been possible to live here since the ice disappeared for approx. 10,000 years ago. Historically, one can see signs of settlement approx. 8000 years back in time. Over the years, and still today, Bolgværingene have made a living on aquaculture.
