Røvær
Røvær is an island group in Haugesund Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The islands lie off the mainland shore about northwest of the town of Haugesund.
Regular express boat service connects Røvær, the neighboring island of Feøy, and the town of Haugesund. Most island residents also own a private boat and have a car parked in Haugesund that they use on the mainland. The ferry boats have the capacity to take one car on board; a direct route between Røvær and Haugesund takes 25 minutes each way.
The Røvær islands have about one hundred permanent residents, as well as seasonal residents and visitors who rent vacation homes, stay at Røvær Seahouse or the newer Røvær Culture Hotel. The permanent residents who are not retired support themselves principally through farming, fishing, employment at the express boat service, teaching at the island's local school, working at the salmon fish farm, or commute to work on the mainland.
The weather can be nice in the summer with temperatures between. Temperature in the winter time is around.
During World War II, the island was occupied by German military forces, and there is still a concrete pillbox on Varden, the island's highest point.
