Saltstraumen is a natural phenomenon located in the small village of Laukeng. It is known as one of the strongest tidal currents in the world, and it is caused by the narrow strait that connects the Saltfjord and the Skjerstadfjord. The current can reach speeds of up to 22 knots, creating a whirlpool effect that can be seen from the shore.
The area around Saltstraumen is also known for its beautiful scenery, with steep mountains and crystal-clear waters. Visitors can take a boat tour to get a closer look at the whirlpools and learn more about the geology and history of the area. There are also several hiking trails that offer stunning views of the fjords and surrounding landscape.
In addition to its natural beauty, Saltstraumen is also a popular spot for fishing. The strong currents bring in a variety of fish, including cod, halibut, and salmon. Visitors can try their luck fishing from the shore or hire a local guide for a more in-depth experience.
Overall, Saltstraumen is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the area. Its unique natural phenomenon and stunning scenery make it a truly unforgettable experience.
