The Geysir viewpoint in Narvik

Description

The Water Jet at Taraldsvik Mini Hydropower Plant is one of Narvik's most recognizable landmarks. You can reach it on foot, by bike, or by car, and the area offers beautiful views of the fjord, mountains, and the town.

The main attraction is the impressive water jet, which is clearly visible from the town centre. If you are at the mini hydropower plant when it is operating, you might even get a refreshing splash.

The water has travelled through 1,100 metres of tunnels and a 2,000-metre pipeline from the mountain lakes Isvann and Forsnesvann. With a vertical drop of approximately 440 metres, the water reaches a pressure of 44 bar – enough to propel it up to 75 metres into the air.

Please note: The Water Jet is currently out of operation due to pipeline maintenance.
