  Beautiful scenery, by a fjord, just north of the arctic circle. Half hour from the worlds strongest tidal current. (Saltstraumen) 1 hour from Bodø city, with airport, train station and ferry to famous Lofoten islands. Half hour from train station in Rognan. Summer is the season of the midnight sun. Will spend time together, and we will try to show you what we think is worth experiencing around here. There are different festivals nearby we (you) can go to.
