Visiting northern Norway should include a lot of time out and about. Bodømarka is a good choice after visiting Saltstraumen and Kjerringøy. There is a lot of well maintained paths for walking in Bodømarka, eitheryou choose to walk the hills or the woods. I'd really recommend taking the one hour walk to Keiservarden, 366 moh. The view is fantastic! Junkerfjellet and Vågøyvannet is another good choice. Ask for a map and guidance at the tourist information. When visitin summertime you may also go for a walk in the middle of the night, you might catch the midnight sun from a hilltop as a bonus.

One day during my visit last month I walked through the eastern part of Bodø and up into the low hills just to the east. There were quite a lot of people about, maybe because it was a Sunday. Indeed, there were lots of cars in the car park at the end of Fjellveien. I walked as far as Svartvatnet, the scenic third lake above, and then doubled back along the crest of the broad ridge to the mast which, I think, is called Linken. Certainly, it is at the top of Linkveien.
There were lots of birdlife to be seen and heard and the views were impressive. I was particularly impressed with the clear view of the island of Landegode off to the north. It reminded me a bit of Rhum in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Also, as Eirik F writes, I could even see the Lofoten islands, which was amazing. I also saw a red squirrel.
Note that the route from near the car park at the top of Fjellveien to the mast is on board walks for part of the way, as the flat ridge is marsh in places. Nearer the mast there is a steep sided little “nick” in the ridge, part of which is protected by steps and part of which requires a certain amount of stretching!

Bodømarka is very close to the city Centre. Lots of trails - good for both 60+ and younger! Some trails Leads to small "mountain" - tops of a fem hundred meters, with magnificant view to Børrvasstindene or to Landegode. You could Even Get a glimse of Lofoten on a clear day. Excellent for half a day trip. If you like to walk on higher mountains you should go by car first, a little longer away from the city.

Last time we visited Bodo we just wandered along the coast but this time we walked briskly through the snow covered town and were surprised by how quite vibrant it seemed for such a small, remote place. The area North of the ferry terminal was quite picturesque.

Many nice paths and trails. Most popular is to walk to Keiservarden, so one can enjoy the spectacular view over the city of Bodø and the ocean around. It is suitable for most people, and there are several ways up there. The easiest way up would be from Maskinisten, where it is possible to drive up with a electric wheel chair (or similar). A bit steep the first kilometer or so, but gets lighter.
The other way up is from Rønvikfjellet, and is very nice and suitable for nearly all ages.
Both Maskinisten and Rønvikfjellet have a lot of parking area (free parking 24/7)

The hike up to Kaiservarden takes 1 - 1 ½ hours depending on fitness level, a great little excursion.
There are two main treks up, either from the Turisthytta or the Maskinisten (google for maps). From Turisthytta there are multiple little small paths up, the last part over rocks and through shrub. The other way up from Maskinisten has a well maintained gravel road all the way up (closed off for motorized traffic).
The view from up the top of Kaiservarden is just amazing - 360 degree view over the ocean, city and mountain peaks. On really clear days you can even see Lofoten far away in the distance. Would be nice if there was a café up on the peak but there's nothing. No toilets or anything.

The tourist association and county council have invested loads into making bodømarka an accessible and pleasant place for hikers of all ages and levels of fitness. The landscape views are breathtaking. Lots of paved and graveled trails, benches, even dog poo bags are provided. Bodø is a good place for low threshold hiking.

Put on your hiking shoes or skis and go into nature. The area is close to town and large enough to get lost for a week. However, lots of marked tracks in summer and lighted ski tracks in winter. All there free of charge to use!

Some of the townnearest and best area for hiking and having family afternoon- and daytours. Easy to get parking and a lot of roads to follow. Take your grandchildren out for a trip and make fire to grill hot dogs and marchmellows.

What the hell is Bodomarka? There is no website or anything on Google. Great user-generated useless content everywhere I look on TA.
