Raftsundet

Raftsundet has throughout the ages always been a particularly important part of the sailing route between north and south with a lot of associated history. Hence the name "norveien", Norwegen and Norway. Always fascinating to observe the heartbeat of the strait. We also use Raftsundet for wonderful sea experiences to and from the Trollfjord. The Hurtigruta also passes here twice a day right in front of you.
