Bessaker is a small, quiet fishing village on the north coast of the Fosen peninsula in Central Norway (Trøndelag county, Åfjord municipality) and is considered a true paradise for sea anglers. Offshore islands and skerries protect the harbor from the rough sea and make the area safe. The small village has just under 200 inhabitants. There is a supermarket, a gas station, a restaurant, Rorbuer, and a lovingly designed village center by the harbor. Since 2022, the newly built Vettan staircase leads up to Bessakers' 145 m high local mountain and attracts tourists.

Die „Vettantrappa“ mit ihren exakt 951 Stufen führt seit 2022 hinauf zum 145 m hohen Vettan, dem Hausberg von Bessaker. Die Gesamtwegstrecke beträgt stark 2 km. Nur die Einstiegstreppen sind steil, danach ist es eher ein Genussgehen auf recht flachen Stufen, unterbrochen von etlichen durchlaufenden Bohlenabschnitten. Die Aussicht ist von Beginn an herrlich und steigert sich natürlich dem Gipfel zu. Unterwegs sind Ruhebänke eingebaut und so manch liebevolles Detail wie bunte Mini-Norwegerhäuschen an einem Teich, geschnitzte Eulen oder ein roter Holzfuchs am Wegrand. Wir lassen uns Zeit, genießen die wärmenden Strahlen und beobachten das Treiben auf dem Meer. Oben angekommen lockt ein fantastisches 360° Panorama über die Küste und die vorgelagerten Inseln von Flatanger im Norden bis Frøya im Süden. Draußen im Meer tauchen zudem viele Schären auf, oder auch nur weiße Wellenkammlinien, welche „Untiefen“ markieren. Direkt auf dem Gipfelplateau finden sich noch Reste deutscher Besatzungsanlagen aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

A charming coastal fishing village situated along a sheltered inlet in Åfjord Municipality. Nestled between rocky ocean hills and deep blue waters, the settlement features traditional red wooden rorbuer, boat docks, and calm harbor views, serving as a gateway to coastal hiking trails and nearby vantage points.

A scenic wooden staircase pathway leading up towards the Vettan viewpoint. Built over rocky cliffs and hillside terrain, the elevated wooden boardwalk and steps provide an accessible ascent while opening up panoramic vistas across coastal fjords, wind turbines, and the surrounding ocean landscape.

951 numbered steps lead directly from the harbor to the summit. This path was built thanks to many donations.
