The Journey

1

Osterfjorden

Discover the grandeur of Osterfjorden, a majestic fjord that carves through the heart of Vestland county, Norway. Flanked by the island of Osterøy and marking the border between Lindås and Osterøy municipalities, this fjord offers a visual feast of rugged cliffs and tranquil waters. Embark on a boat tour that cruises the 27-kilometer stretch from Romarheimsfjorden to the confluence near Knarvik, where Osterfjorden meets Radfjorden, Sørfjorden, and Salhusfjorden. The fjord's impressive depth of 639 metres makes it an aquatic wonderland. This is an ideal location for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Explore the charming villages dotted along the fjord's edge, each offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Mostraumen

Experience the raw power of nature at Mostraumen, a canalized river that funnels tidal waters deep into the Osterfjord. This narrow waterway, only 50 to 60 meters wide in its tightest section and about 600 meters long, offers a thrilling spectacle as powerful currents surge through the channel. Dredged around 1913 to improve navigation, Mostraumen is a testament to human intervention meeting nature's force. Join a boat excursion that navigates these turbulent waters, offering an adrenaline-pumping adventure amidst stunning scenery. Witness whirlpools and churning rapids as the tides change, making Mostraumen a unique and unforgettable destination for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
