Rombak Fjord Hike (Norway)

This hike is 8km (about 2hrs). You start at Katterat Station. The only way to Katterat is to catch the train from either Narvik or Riksgransen. Or, you need to hike in from the main road close to Bjornfjell and travel along the railway track all the way to Katterat. That is quite a hike (day hike).
From Riksgransen or from Narvik - get off the train and start the hike (all downhill).
This is a wonderful hike, taking in a wealth of natural and cultural history. The trip starts at Katterat station, where follow the 100-year-old “Rallarvägen” (old navvy road), a transport route that was constructed for the building of the “Malmbanan” ore freight railway. The route is lined with dramatic scenery and remnants of history.
There is a bridge crossing over the river on the way to the pier. This is close to the site of the old village of Rombakksbotten, which lies at sea level.
You need to arrange a boat out from the pier.
