Ofotfjord — Local services in Narvik

Ofotfjord (Ofotfjorden in Norwegian) is a fjord in Nordland county, Norway. It is an inlet of the Norwegian Sea, located about 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. The 78-kilometre long Ofotfjord is Norway's 12th longest fjord and it is also the 18th deepest, with a maximum depth of 553 metres (1,814 ft). The fjord is surrounded by mountains, some reaching 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), and even 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) in Skjomen, where the Frostisenglacier can be seen. The only large lowland area is on parts of the northern shore, around Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes, although there are smaller areas near the fjord and in narrow valleys (for instance, the Narvik peninsula, where the harbour and city centre of Narvik is located). The Ofotfjord is the longest fjord in Nordland county and the fourth longest in Northern Norway. The municipalities of Tjeldsund and Evenes are located on the northern shore, the municipality of Narvik is located on the eastern, innermost part of the fjord, and on the southern shore is the municipality of Ballangen. The municipality of Lødingen (and beyond that Lofoten) and the large Vestfjord is located west-south-west of the Ofotfjord. Several smaller fjord branches extend from the main fjord. From north-west, going clockwise, these are: Ramsundet (which is actually a narrow strait connecting with the larger Tjeldsundet), Bogen (a fairly wide bay), Herjangsfjord (the widest of these branches), Rombaken (which is crossed by the E6 highway using the Rombak Bridge), Beisfjorden (crossed by the E6 highway using the Beisfjord Bridge), Skjomen (the longest of these fjord branches, crossed by the E6 highway using the Skjomen Bridge) and finally Ballangen. This fjord is often called the "Narvik Fjord", since the town of Narvik is located on the inner shores...

Not the greatest fjord in Norway, but in itself and around it there are plenty of PO'Is and potential activites, to engage in if...

Für jeden der einmal sprachlos sein möchte 🥹 Wir waren auf einer Kajaktour und haben dort gezeltet, ich könnte mir keine schöneren Urlaub vorstellen! Naja, solange man etwas gutes gegen Mücken mitnimmt 😉 Aber das weiß man ja...
