Typified by steep mountains and the flat lowlands where they meet the Norwegian Sea, Nordland is known for its stunning scenery. The Lofoten Islands off the mainland are considered among the world's best for travelers and include unique attractions like the Lofotr Viking Museum at Borg. Saltstraumen near Bodo has the world's strongest tidal current. Further south, Vega has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its age-old lifestyle of fishing and eider duck down harvesting.

Stetind – Norway’s national mountain Stetind in Tysfjord is a majestic natural landmark with its extremely characteristic shape in the beautiful North Norwegian fjord landscape. With a height of 1392 m directly from the fjord, Norway’s national mountain, also called “God’s anvil”, juts out like an obelisk in the mountain wilds. You may go on family-friendly walks to spots in the “lower” parts of the mountain – or complete the lofty ascent accompanied by a local guide. Stetind also offers “stern pleasures” for experienced mountain climbers.

Mount Ronvik. From the top of Mount Ronvik, there is a fine view of the mountainous Lofoten islands and the island of Landegode to the north, the Borvasstindene mountains to the south, as well as the town of Bodo. 164 m above sea level. Midnight sun: 2 June – 10 July. 3 km from Bodo. Driveable road. Bus no. 14 and 17 take you halfway to Mount Ronvik. Top 13. The bar of Radisson Blu Hotel Bodo offers a fine view of the Bodo peninsula, Landegode and the Borvasstindene mountains. The Tower at the Norwegian Aviation Museum. From the top of the old control tower at the Norwegian Aviation Museum you have a panorama view of much of the Bodo peninsula.
In my visits to Bodø I always run up to Keiservarden. Excellent view of city and nature around. Can choose to access by gravel or forrest/sherpa Trail. Easy access to further mountaina from here. Highly recommended.

Ride a car or ask a bus driver to let you off at the starting point. Follow the trail and the signs. One safe but semi-steep segment in the forest after about 1/3 of the way, with ropes you can support yourself on. Slightly steep towards the top, but still safe. Popular low-to-medium effort hike.
