This is a second world war memorial. The view across the Vestfjord towards the Lofoten is amazing.
Batterie Dietl is one of Europe's largest coastal fortifications from the 2nd World War. Here stood three of the world's countries attach cannons, firing shells with a diameter of 40.6 cm. Maximum range on the whole 56 km. The fort guarded the entrance of the Vestfjord and the important shipping traffic to Narvik, where iron ore from Sweden was retrieved and brought to Germany's arms factories. It is located in a stunning natural setting. A varied coastal landscape with rocks, bays, small sandy beaches and a rich growth of mountain and coastal plants, which have begun to heal the wounds in the landscape. An area that provides ample opportunities for recreation and nature experiences.
