activities available in the area. Harstad, with its population of
23,000, has always been, and still is, an important centre of
commerce and culture in the north.

voted the most romantic place in Norway from where one
can see the midnight sun. Bjarkøy, the seat of the Viking
chief Tore Hund, can boast an impressive archipelago, a bird
rock and white-tailed eagles. The boroughs adjacent to the
airport, Tjeldsund and Skånland, are known for their many
mountain walks, white sandy beaches and beautiful fjords.
Skånland even has its own beach for winter time bathing. You

Harstad -
The Culture Capital of the North
Population: 23 200 - Area: 364 km2 - postmottak@harstad.kommune.no - www.harstad.kommune.no
Harstad is situated on Hinnøya, the largest island in
Norway. It is the third largest city in Northern Norway and
an important centre of commerce for the entire region. The
paved market square in the city centre is only a short walk
from shops and cafes. Harstad is known for its high-quality
restaurants and cultural events throughout the year. Several
annual festivals take place, such as, Bakgården, Ilios and
a Northern Norwegian Beer Festival. The annual North
Norwegian Festival of Culture takes place the last week in
June, when streets will be teeming with people and there are
music in pubs, churches and concert halls.
The coastal steamers meet at the city centre pier every morning, and the express boat heads north to Senja and Tromsø.
Harstad is generally sheltered from rain and wind. Forests,
mountains, fjords, islands and miles of trails entice you to
unforgettable experiences in nature all year.

and white sandy beaches forming a very popular and exciting
archipelago. Bjarkøy is rich in cultural monuments and has

a multitude of organized activities, including sea fishing or
mountain hikes. From the north side of Grytøy you get a
wonderful view from the Grytøy mountains.
Municipal centre: Nergårdshamn.

tjeldsund
Population: 1.328 - Area: 312 km2 - post@tjeldsund.kommune.no www.tjeldsund.kommune.no
Tjeldsund has been a vital traffic vein between the north
and south throughout the ages. The name of the strait, and
eventually the borough, is derived from the word ‘tjelle’,
which means to camp for the night. Archeological finds in
the region bear witness to settlements going back several
thousand years. The most well-known is the Steinsvik sword
from the Viking Age. One part of the borough is situated on
Hinnøya, another on the mainland and yet another on Tjeldøya. Towns are Kongsvik, Ramsund and Fjelldal. The borough
is host to the Ramsund Naval Base and Norways Firefighting
8
Infoguide Harstad 2011
school in Fjelldal. Culture is vibrant, and there are a wide
range of voluntary organizations and businesses, focusing on
innovation and enthusiasm, working hard to make Tjeldsund
a good place to live and work. Nature entices you to outdoor
activities and experiences, such as fishing on a summer’s
night, playing along the seashore, biking on Tjeldøya, eight
wonderful walks or hikes in Kongsvikdalen or on Hinnøya,
to mention but a few. Several events and attractions can be
visited in the region; Trolldagan in Kongsvik takes place at
the end of August.
skånland
Population: 2.854 - Area: 465 km2 - post@skanland.kommune.no - www.skanland.kommune.no
Skånland offers a spectacular nature and a choice of activities and adventures on land, at sea and in the mountains.
The road from Breistrand in the south winds its way through
a host of beautiful and exiciting villages on its way to Evenskjer. The coastal culture road has become a concept, heading north along the fjord from Tjeldsund Bridge to Grovfjord
and Gratangen. Along the way, you pass many exciting enterprises and attractions in an active coastal culture environment. You can taste traditional food based on local produce,
or you can take a boat trip by sail or engine. Here are many
marked trails in beautiful and captivating landscape, from
inland mountain landscape to coastal landscape. Here are
also rich natural resources with opportunities for sea fishing
from land or by boat and inland fishing in rivers and lakes.
The borough has a Sami population, and is rich on Sami and
Norwegian history, culture and tradition. Skånland, situated
on the mainland by Tjeldsundet, is truly the gate to Hinnøya
and Lofoten. Municipal centre: Evenskjer.

kvAEfjord
Population: 3.060 - Area: 512,7 km2 - postmottak@kvafjord.kommune.no - www.kvafjord.kommune.no
Local tourist info: Rådhuset, Bygdeveien 26, 9475 Borkenes. Tel. +47 77 02 30 00
The borough of Kvæfjord with its magnificent landscape, has
always been perfect for agriculture and fishing.
Finds on the island of Kveøya point to there being settlements
from around 300years BC. Many items dating back to the Iron
Age and Viking times have also been found.
Kvæfjord is known for its sweet and juicy strawberries that
are ripened slowly under the light of the midnight sun, as well
as the production of high quality potatoes and vegetables.
Kvæfjord and Gullesfjord are excellent fjords for fishing in and
there are also many fine lakes where one can fish for both
trout and char. The area can also offer many berry picking
opportunities. The whole borough offers a rich and varied bird
and wildlife population and is therefore a popular destination
for birdwatchers and nature photographers. By road the way
to Lofoten and Vesterålen goes through Kvæfjord and from
Harstad the route is shortened considerably by taking the
ferry from Refsnes to Flesnes. This trip offers a variety of
experiences in nature and a detour to the beautiful island of
Kveøya is recommended. Close to where Gullesfjord ends, a
roundabout gives you the choice of several directions. E10 east
towards Tjeldsund and Harstad and on to the E6. E10 west
towards Lofoten, Rv 85 to Vesterålen and the ferry connection
to Kvæfjord and Harstad. Fv 103 to Moelv and Gullholm.
Kvæfjord is an excellent walking area both summer and
winter. The Melåplateau is recommended and can be reached
from several places. Gullesfjordbotn as well as Kvæfjordeidet
with its fantastic ski runs during the winter. The grade of difficulty varies from pensioner runs to climbing challenges.

happen. Sometimes there are birds catching fish, other times

homes due the extending of the line of defence
during the Second World War.

the largest from the Iron Age is about 40 m long and has
possibly been housing longships larger than Gokstadskipet.
The adjacent boathouse, probably from the Middle Ages,
is 25 m long and may have housed a ‘leidangskip’, one of
the king’s warships. The boathouses may be linked to the
chieftain seat at Sand, which, according to the saga, was
the home to powerful Viking chieftains in the 11th and 12th
century.

in Ramsund and gain control of Tjeldsundet. The establishment of this naval station and the batteries at Forholten and
Ramnes by the southern outlet of Ramsundet was part of the
fortification of the defence of Northern Norway. The batteries
at Ramnes were also designed to control Ofotfjorden and the

Lund Wharf
Sjøvegan, Salangen. Tel: +47 77 01 83 80
booking@stmu.no - www.stmu.no
The beautiful Lundbrygga in the centre of Sjøvegan was built
between the wars on the site of an older pier. Lund Wharf
was more than just a trading post, it was also an important
meeting place for the locals. It is still a meeting place today
but with a different focus. The permanent exhibition gives a
taste of the coastal culture in Salangen at the same time as
the museum also has more temporary exhibitions. Make time
for a cup of freshly brewed coffee in a maritime setting. Open
23rd June- 14th August. Tues- Sun 10.00- 18.00. Rest of the
year by appointment.
Salangsverket
Salangen. Tel: +47 77 01 83 80
booking@stmu.no - www.stmu.no
Deep in Salangen is the huge body of Salangsverket and the
old memories embedded in its walls of a Klondyke with its
chaotic rush and catastrophic depletion. That was before
calculations could tell you that further extractions of iron ore
would not be profitable anymore. Today, the tall construction
is returning to nature as a reminder that everything is
transient. Open all year.

Wandering - tips
From around the 15th of June until the 1st of October we can
be pretty sure that the mountain tops will be without snow.
The time before and after vary from year to year. If one stays
under 350 metres above sea level and near the coast, the
season will of course last a little longer.
The weather changes quickly in the mountains and we
recommend that you have a suitable map and compass.
Remember warm wind and waterproof clothes in your backpack. A hat and gloves might also be a good idea if one is
close to the top of the mountain.
At Harstad tourist office you can buy hiking maps and get
good tips. We are also the service office for the Norwegian
Ramblers Association. Here you can buy keys and get information regarding their routes and cabins.
