This unusual twin-peaked rock outcrop is visible from downtown Svolvaer and offers incredible views for those brave enough to perform the famous "Svolvær Goat leap."

The highlight is an authentic reconstruction of the 272-foot-long chieftain's house, the largest Viking-era building on record, that once stood on the site around 500 CE.

Towering over the fjord is the snowcapped Higravtinder (1,191 meters) and the jagged Trolltinder (1,045 meters) mountains, both rising high above the Trollfjord.
