Folda

The fjord extends inland with two primary branches, Nordfolda and Sørfolda, reaching a total length of 60 kilometers from the Vestfjorden entrance point.

The North Cape Highway construction along the heads of Folda branches marked a significant development in connecting northern coastal communities to southern Norwegian regions.

Local fishing communities along Folda's coastline maintain traditional herring fishing practices that support the regional economy and preserve maritime traditions.

The fjord reaches depths of 540 meters and spans 9 kilometers at its western entrance, making it suitable for large vessel navigation and commercial fishing operations.

The water body splits into multiple diverging fjord arms throughout its length, creating a complex network of waterways between steep coastal cliffs.
