Møre og Romsdal Fylke, Herøy Kommune

Herøy municipality is a group of islands. The largest islands are Gurskøya, Nerlandsøya, Leinøya, Bergsøya, Runde, Rimøya (Remøy) and Skorpa. Herøy borders to Sande, Vanylven, Volda and Ulstein, and the town of Fosnavåg is the administrative centre.

Runde is the foremost tourist attraction in Herøy. Keipen on Skorpa island is the most inaccessible top, as no public transport runs to and from this island. Gurskøya is excellent for long hikes, while the other island tops are excellent for short afternoon walks.
