GURISTRAUMEN GEOLOGY AND BIOLOGY TRAIL

Guristraumen geology and biology trail

This is a popular hiking trail on a peninsula close to Guristraumen, an area with strong tidal currents and exciting local stories of the lady Guri who allegedly drowned here. This is the typical landscape of northern Vega, with lime-rich, sedimentary bedrock giving a high biodiversity with many orchids.

Trollfjell Geopark has placed signposts for a geology and biology trail here in the summer of 2014, and offers guided tours in the area.
