VALNESFOSSEN

To stretch my legs, I love to visit Bodø’s highest waterfall. It’s a short walk through the forest and it always clears my mind. My mother is from Valnes and we have a cabin nearby. arctichikes.no

TRANØY LIGHTHOUSE

Watch the gentle Atlantic waves and look across to the Lofoten Islands at this peaceful lighthouse, which dates to 1864 and is only a few hours’ drive north of Bodo.

KJERRINGØY

Take the bus or drive an hour north to this an idyllic fishing post. Visit the Karl Erik Harr Museum then go to a cafe to try møsbrømlefser, a flatbread filled with brown cheese, sugar, sour cream and butter.
