Bjørnøya (Stavanger)

Historie

Bjørnøy or in some incorrect sources Bjørnøya, is a small island in the city of Stavanger in Rogaland county, Norway. The island is located in the borough of Hundvåg, just east of the larger island of Hundvåg. It is connected by bridge to the island of Hundvåg (which in turn is connected to the mainland of Stavanger), and it is also connected to the small islands of Roaldsøy and Ormøy to the south. The island is heavily populated and is covered with houses, although there are still a few larger green spaces left undeveloped.
