Freshwater Swims

There’s something special about taking a swim in a clear mountain pond in Northern Norway - especially under the midnight sun. It’s a simple experience, but one you won’t forget. 

You can choose between Nedre Vollvatnet, Øvre Vollvatnet and Svartvatnet. All within walking distance from Wood Hotel Bodø. 

Nedre Vollvatnet is 4 minutes walking distance from the hotel and the smallest of the three. 

Øvre Vollvatnet is 8 minutes walking distance from the hotel and larger than the first one. 

Svartvatnet is 15 minutes walking distance from the hotel and the largest one. 

Equipment available to borrow at the hotel: 
Backpack
Outdoor towels
Binoculars
Hedlamp
Trekking poles

Café Turisthytta, adjacent to the lobby, is ready to fill your backpack with coffee on thermos, bottles with water and lemonade and packed sandwiches.
