Dårlig Ulv Stranden (Norwegian for "Bad Wolf Bay") was a bay 50 miles outside Bergen in Norway on the alternate Earth dubbed Pete's World.
After being transported to the alternate Earth, this is the last place where Rose had any contact with the Doctor. (DW: Doomsday).
After the War in the Medusa Cascade, the Doctor took Rose back to Bad Wolf Bay with the Meta-Crisis Doctor and Jackie. (DW: Journey's End)
