Telegrafbukta, Coastal park in Bjerkaker, Norway
Telegrafbukta stretches along the southern edge of Tromsøya island, providing open green spaces with direct access to the Norwegian Sea. The park is equipped with walking paths, benches, and picnic areas, all accessible by local bus routes and parking facilities.
The area gained municipal recognition in 1955 when Bjerkaker shifted from Tromsøysund Municipality to become part of Tromsø Municipality. This administrative change marked the beginning of its development as a public recreation space.
The park hosts the Bukta Tromsø Open Air Festival each summer, drawing music fans from across the region. It has become an important gathering place for local celebrations and community events.
Visitors can access the grounds year-round, with summer months offering the best conditions for picnicking and exploring. Local bus connections and adequate parking make it easy to reach from Tromsø's center.
On the grounds, visitors can witness the midnight sun during summer months and often see northern lights in winter. Its location at 69 degrees north latitude makes it a rare place where both natural phenomena are possible.
