    The Royal Monument to the Saltstraumen is a monument built in 1874 to commemorate the royal visit by Oscar II on June 26, 1873. It stands on the site of a former signal mast to facilitate navigation through the Maelstrom. Over time, two more pages of the monument have been extended with the dates of the respective visit times of the following kings:

    Haakon VII visited the place on July 5, 1926,

    Olav V. visited Saltstraumen on August 14, 1982.

    The fourth page of the monument has been left blank (2017).

    From the monument has a good view of the Saltstraumen. Several benches invite you to linger.

      The monument sits on top of a rock. Right next to it is a hotel
