Had a good stop here during a warm day. You can stop below the waterfall and walk up the hill, or stop up at the river, and enjoy the view from the top (just be careful if you walk on the rocks - the shore is safer, at least below the bridge where the road crosses the river).

Visit our small farm to meet traditional (and some untraditional) Norwegian farm animals. Pig, chicken, sheep, chinchilla – and much more! Experience close contact with the animals and learn about farm life in North-Norway. We also have play areas for children and in our cosy cafe we serve coffee, cakes, Norwegian svele and more. Welcome!

Vegatrappa is a something which "every Norwegian tourist" want to climb and therefore may be crowded. But it is worth the climb and crowd. And even with many people around, it's no problem to do the climb. The view is spectacular. A stay with dinner at "Havhotellene" and a climb at Vegatrappa is a must!

The great "globe" marker of the Arctic Circle at this location on Vikingen Island off the west central coast of Norway is spectacular, both in design and construction as well as geographic significance. Hopefully you will enjoy my photo as we passed by on the excellent MS Nordlys "coastal steamer". All Recommended.

It was worth all the money! I was extremely lucky with weather this day, since sun was shining and it was very refreshing to speed drive the catamaran who took us to the largest underwater current in the whole World! We saw sea eagles and some stone and rock formation that I have nevwr seen elsewhere. If I should describe it, it look like Mother earth's blood viens! It is possible to do this in winter to, but with bus, but Im pretth sure is coolest with a boat like me and my colleagues did..
