Bergevika Uthavn

Bergevika is a natural harbour on Helgøya, Norway's largest freshwater island, located in the middle of Lake Mjøsa. The harbour is used by local boating clubs, including Bergevika Båtforening and the outharbour of Hamar Seilforening, and is known as an idyllic spot for small boats with a bathing area nearby. Large parts of the surrounding bay are protected as a nature reserve due to a fossil coral reef and a rare lime pine forest.

For visiting sailors there is no publicly stated information on depth, VHF channel or guest berth fees – it is advisable to check current conditions with the local boat club before arrival.

At the jetty there is an area for launching boats, and visitors are directed to a designated parking area, though drivers are asked to park considerately so the launch site is not blocked. Hamar Seilforening also has a cabin on the northern headland, where members can rent a key for overnight stays.

Around the bay you'll find two old lime kilns bearing witness to the area's cultural history, and you can continue on into the protected nature reserve with its lime pine forest and rich flora. Helgøya offers an extensive agricultural landscape and several old farms to discover on foot or by bike. Head out to Bergevika and enjoy this peaceful natural harbour in the heart of Mjøsa.
