THE NAMDAL COAST<br />
– Wild, active and challenging<br />
■■■■ This adventure coastline – with the wild and beautiful<br />
stretch of water known Folla – is the Kingdom of the Thousand Isles!<br />
This is a world of contrasts – the wild ocean with a multitude of<br />
islands, surrounded by white sandy beaches and enveloped in the<br />
special light that so many come here to experience. Not much separates<br />
the sea from the sky out here on the coast, just small and<br />
strangely fertile strips of granite. The exception is the saga isle of<br />
Leka, a characteristic reddish yellow serpentine rock rising from the<br />
sea – a geological marvel with parallels to Cyprus and New Zealand.<br />
