1. Kvaloya
An Arctic Fjord and Wildlife safari on Kvaløya and Sommarøy is a fantastic way to explore the breathtaking natural beauty of the region and observe the diverse wildlife that inhabits the area. Kvaløya is an island located near Tromsø and Sommarøy is a picturesque fishing village situated on the western coast of Kvaløya. Here's what you can expect from such a safari: Scenic Drives The journey itself is a treat as you drive along the coastal roads, passing by majestic fjords, snow-capped mountains, and pristine beaches. The landscapes are simply stunning, and you'll have numerous opportunities to stop and admire the panoramic views.
2.
Bryggejentene is a charming café and shop located in an old pier building that dates back to the early 20th century. Previously used as a fish farm, Bryggejentene has been a popular spot since its establishment in 2010. Here, you can indulge in delicious coffee from Strøm Eriksen.
3. Sommaroybrua
The Sommarøy bridge is a free-build bridge from Kvaløya to Sommarøya in Troms. The bridge is 522 meters long, and the longest span is 120 meters. It is part of county road 7766. Sommarøybrua has only one lane and is therefore equipped with traffic lights to regulate the direction of traffic. But it was reported in 2004 that the traffic lights do not work properly when it is windy, which happens relatively often.
4. Sommaroy
Sommarøy is an old fishing village in the western part of Tromsø Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located about 36 kilometres (22 mi) west of the city of Tromsø and is a popular tourist destination due to its white sand beaches and scenery.
5.
Rystraumen (also called Storstraumen and Rya) is a strait furthest east in Straumsfjorden between Kvaløya and Ryøya in Tromsø municipality in Troms. The strait is only about 500 meters wide and relatively shallow, forming a tidal current that can travel at speeds of up to eight knots.
6.
"Tirpitz" and its sister ship "Bismarck" were the largest battleships in the German navy, Kriegsmarine, during the Second World War. The ship was named after the German Minister of the Navy and Grand Admiral Alfred Freiherr von Tirpitz. The ship was stationed in Norway from 1942, and after several Allied attacks was finally sunk at Tromsø in 1944. Because the ship was not in ordinary operation at that time but functioned as an anchored, floating artillery, the crew was reduced; of this, a total of 916 people died, slightly more than half of the crew on board.
