Sound sleep's not guaranteed for those under canvas at what's otherwise a perfectly ad-
equate campground, overlooking the fjord and E6, 2km northeast of the centre and Nar-
vik's only choice. Trucks rumble along the highway and long wagon trains clank by on the
railway, just above.

This little treasure of a place (it has only four rooms so reservations are essential) offers
excellent value. Used as a German officer's mess in WWII (the owner will proudly show
you a 1940 bottle of Coca Cola, made under licence in Hamburg), nowadays it brims with
antiques and character.
Choose the Heidi room (it's the only one without a shower but the little balcony more
than compensates) and you'll be sleeping in the bed once occupied by King Olav. Cross the
bridge beside the bus station and head west for about 1km.
