Top 6 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Lyngen Fjord, Northern Norway

The Bollmann's road was built by Russian, Yugoslavian and Polish prisoners during the 2nd World War. Today, the road is lined with information signs about the war in Storfjord and is leading up to a great viewpoint. On the way up to this war memorial, there is a rest area and a toilet. On top you will find a reconstructed bunker used for accommodation. A summer trip offers beautiful views of the midnight sun!

Between Oteren and Lyngseidet lies Steindalen. The hike to the Steindalsbreen is 5 km long and you can easily enter the glacier.

Driving further into the valley, you will cross a bridge over a canyon and reach another parking lot. The marked trail to Gorsabrua starts here (1,8 km) and this walk is easy. Lamb are eating grass in the trench and there is a full view over the valley along the trail. When reaching the bridge, Gorsabrua; prepare for some tickling height fear! An enormous waterfall flows down into the 153 metres high canyon and you have a fantastic view over it when standing on the bridge. On Saturdays during the summer, you can bungee jump from an exit-ramp on the middle of the bridge. It is probably one of the northernmost bungee jumps that you can find!

This hiking trail (2,4 km) is located in Lulledalen Nature Reserve, and contains information posters about the flora and fauna. The area is rich with orchids that should be experienced in bloom time (June / July).

A big parking lot on the right side, at the beginning of the valley, is a starting point for good marked hiking trails. You can choose between shorter, easy walks to Ankerlia (550 m) which is a nature museum over the old mining, or longer, more challenging tours to for example Sabitjohka (6,2km) or Moskogaisa mine (6,6 km). Whatever track you choose, you will have a spectacular nature experience with dramatic mountain walls, beautiful rapids and deep forests.

Guolasjavri is a big lake at the end of the gravel road up the Kafjord valley. Here you can come easily by car and you can enjoy the mountains from northern Norway. Be aware that there is no cell phone coverage here!
