Ramnfloget is a Scenic Lookout in Norway

Ramnfloget is a scenic lookout on the fell above Bodø, in Nordland in northern Norway. It sits on the high ground east of the city, among the same rolling tops as Keiservarden and Frostfjellet nearby. From here the land drops away to a broad view over Bodø, the sea and the scatter of islands beyond, with the mountains of the interior rising behind. It is reached on foot along the network of marked trails that lace these hills, an easy outing in summer and, once the snow comes, a spot for skiers and snowshoers. Ravens are often seen riding the updraughts along the crag. Bodø lies just north of the Arctic Circle at around 67°N, well inside the auroral zone, and the open outlook here, a short climb above the town lights, makes Ramnfloget a quietly rewarding place to catch the northern lights over the coast on a clear winter night.
