Description

Kleivodden
At the foot of steep mountains north of Bleik lies the rest area Kleivodden. Sheltered between the rocks, you can experience the ocean from land and you can view peaks, sandy beaches, the village of Bleik, and the bird mountain Bleiksøya. Here are the sea, the sky, and the light, and not least the northern lights, in constant changes.
Simple surfaces and stairs in polished concrete integrate the facility with the terrain and focus on the view and landscape. The surfaces are only broken by matte-polished stones of local Lødingen granite that reflect light and sky, and at the same time serve as robust seating.
