Hiking and walks
Bodømarka is a find for those who love nature, and
the view from Mount Keiservarden is magnificent.
Bodø is a peninsula surrounded by ocean and fjord,
but also by luxuriant countryside on the outskirts of
the city. And right outside the city centre you will find
the 366 metre tall Mount Keiservarden, with a 360
degree view which includes the Lofoten Islands to
the north-west. The mountain was named after
Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany who paid a visit there on
16 July 1889.
Mountainous Bodø municipality offers wonderful
hiking opportunities. There are 120 peaks above
700 m in height, and 30 peaks that tower more than
1000 m. You can choose between easy walks and
demanding rock climbing.
18-hole golf course at Bodø Golf Park
Many visitors are tempted by the unique idea that
you can play golf in the middle of the night during the
summer months, when the floodlights of the midnight
sun cast long shadows and transform the green into a
shimmering fairy tale landscape. In light of this, it
seems only natural that there are several Viking
graves on the course.
