Rombaksbaai

The Rombaksbaai extends 20 kilometers through steep mountains, reaching depths of 344 meters with clear waters that reflect the surrounding landscape.

The fjord became a central point during World War II naval battles in 1940, where ten German destroyers and multiple military vessels sank in these waters.

The Northern Sami people refer to this waterway as Ruoppat, maintaining their traditional connections to the natural formations of the Norwegian coastline.

Two major transportation routes, European routes E06 and E10, run along the northern shores of the fjord, connecting regional communities through modern infrastructure.

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