Rombaken, Coastal fjord in Narvik Municipality, Norway

The Rombaken fjord extends 20 kilometers inland from Ofotfjorden, bordered by mountains and intersected by two major bridges at different points.

During World War II, the fjord waters became the final resting place for ten German destroyers and one submarine following naval battles in 1940.

Northern Norwegian maritime traditions continue in the fjord waters through regular fishing activities, boat transportation, and seasonal celebrations near the shores.

The European routes E06 and E10 run along the northern shores of the fjord, connecting travelers to Narvik and other regional destinations.

The wreck of destroyer Georg Thiele remains partially visible above water at Rombaksbotn, while other warships rest 12 meters below the surface.
