Flatøy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flatøy is one of two smaller islands that together with the larger island Holsnøy make up the municipality Meland Kommune, in the district of Nordhordland, north of Bergen, in western Norway.
Strategically located between Salhus, Holsnøy and Knarvik, it is connected to these larger communities by the three bridges: Krossnessundbrua (to Holsnøy), Hagelsund Bridge (to Knarvik), and Nordhordland Bridge to Salhus. With Nordhordlansbrua, Flatøy serves as the entry point to Norhordland.
The island is the home to approximately 500 inhabitants, and was served by a local elementary school, Flatøy Skule until 2010.
