Heim is Trøndelag’s fjord-wrapped playground — a municipality where climbing parks swing between treetops, Viking festivals echo across valleys, and electric bikes glide past salmon farms and stave churches. With around 6,100 residents and a landscape that flips between coastal cliffs and forested hills, Heim is the kind of place where you can zipline over a fjord, fish from a kayak, and still catch a retro concert on a floating stage. It’s got grit, green hills, and a name that literally means “home.”

Getting There
Heim sits in southwestern Trøndelag, with Kyrksæterøra as its municipal center. The E39 highway runs through the region, and buses connect to Trondheim, Aure, and Kristiansund.
