ボドの天然記念物・トップ10

Glacial potholes are formed by meltwater flowing through crevasses and, in particular, moulins toward the glacier bed. This meltwater coalesces into streams and, in certain places, forms eddies. These eddies have flow speeds of up to 200 km/h and high pressure. The main erosion work, hollowing out the bedrock, is performed by the sand and gravel particles carried along with it.

Incredible forces of nature Four times a day, this massive volume of water forces its way through the 150-meter-wide strait in Saltstraumen. This creates enormous whirlpools that dance between the fjords. We're talking about 400 million cubic meters of seawater, moving at an average speed of 13 kilometers per hour – when the current is at its strongest, it's much faster!

Keiservarden is a real favourite for the people of Bødo. In 2016, Queen Sonja officially open the sherpa-built trail up to the summit. At the top of the climb, there's a circular viewfinder that allows you to name the surrounding islands and peaks.

Keiservarden (366 m) is Bodø's local mountain. Once you reach the top, you have a fantastic view of Bodø and the surrounding area. TOP 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The current table can be viewed on site, or even better, it can be accessed online for planning purposes. https://saltstraumen.info/Velkommen/saltstraumtabellen

Recommendation: spikes for shoes in winter

Saltstraumen, 30 km southeast of Bodø, is the strongest tidal current in the world. Its name comes from Salten, the region in which it is located. Straumen comes from the Old Norse straumr for “current, current”
