Top 10 Things to do Adventurous in Nordland, Northern Norway

March 18, 2022 Trinity Boughner

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.

Festvagtind Hike

The hike starts with the parkinglot in Festvag. Walk 100 m in direction Henningsvaer, take a turn to the right and follow the trail. It`s steep, but the view is amazing.

Reviewed By watchviking

Hiking up is definitely worth the effort. If you dont dare to go all the way up: there is incredible views to be seen in the midsection of the trail in ”heiavannet viewpoint” as well. If you are climbing all the way you should still visit this midsection viewpoint and possibly swim in the lake located up there. Locals said that I could also drink the water from the lake beside ”hieavannet” and I did top my bottles there! :) All the way to the top awaits a view that is really worth the trouble of getting up there. To me it took about 2h to climb all the way up. Would probably reserve 3-4h total so you can rest and take in the view as well. There is paid parking at the starting point. From the midsection up the trail is more tricky. If it is raining be extra careful.

Saltstraumen

Reviewed By NinalittleLo - Tel Aviv, Israel

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..
