Børgefjell/Byrkije NATIONAL PARK

Børgefjell is magnificent. This is where you go for extraordinary experiences and close contact with wild nature, undisturbed by others.

There are few cabins and no marked trails in Børgefjell. The national park is not particularly touristic, but if you love seeking out exciting areas to explore with a tent and a fishing rod, this is the place for you. There are almost no technical interventions and you will have to find your own way. Børgefjell is best suited for experienced trekkers.

The park consists of high peaks, deep valleys, plains, rushing watercourses and mountain lakes. Børgefjell represents some of the best nature in Norway. The landscape is characterized by several hundred years of Southern Sami reindeer herding and the area is a living cultural landscape. There is still active reindeer husbandry in Børgefjell.

Summer is the best time for hiking or multiday trekking. The entry points in Namsskogan and Røyrvik are excellent starting points for day trips. On a multi-day walk you can fish high quality mountain trout, quench your thirst in natures own “drinking fountains” and experience rugged nature with rare plants and wildlife.

Børgefjell is known as a haven for Arctic Fox, where the population can sustain itself without support measures.

Lierne/Lijre NATIONAL PARK

Lierne National Park offers a diversity of animal and plant life in untouched surroundings – the perfect spot for eager hunters, fishermen and lovers of the outdoor life. The landscape also constitutes a fantastic exhibition of how the Ice Ages have left their mark on the area.

The national park is characterized by lowlying, open mountainous areas, with the exception of the Hestkjølen mountain range, which reaches up to 1,300 metres above sea level. The varied landscape is the habitat of a number of different species of birds, particularly waders, ducks and divers.

You may also observe dotterel, red-necked phalarope and long-tailed skua there.

Moreover, due to its wilderness-like character, the area offers excellent conditions for species requiring sizeable territories such as wolverine, lynx and bears. There is also a wide range of cultural monuments there, bearing witness to the local Sámi heritage.

With guides from Visitor Centre National Park Lierne you can go “Bear tracking” and learn about the life of bears. Explore the bear’s natural habitat: the beautiful forests.

The national park is also a safe bet for those who appreciate an abundance of mushrooms and berries. The area is well-suited to walking, but there are few marked trails or open cabins.

Welcome to one of Norway’s biggest national parks. Welcome to fantastic hiking terrain with a unique flora and fantastic hunting. Welcome to the Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella mountains!

The national park is known for its abundant stocks of ptarmigan and woodland game birds. Moose may also be hunted there.

SALMON FISHING

STEINAR JOHANSEN

Namdalen has been one of Norway’s best regions for salmon fishing ever since the British «salmon lords» started to visit the region in the 1800s. During the salmon season fishing enthusiasts from all over the world try their luck in Namdalen. Here you can fish from the riverbank or from a boat, with or without a guide.

NAMSEN - THE QUEEN OF RIVERS - emerges from Store Namsvatnet lake in the municipality of Røyrvik, before meandering 229 kilometres through majestic and magnificent countryside to its estuary in Namsos. Among enthusiasts at home and abroad, the Namsen is one of the country’s most coveted salmon rivers.

Fishing from boats and from the banks of the river are long-standing traditions.

Along the river you will find an increasing number of places offering you a “complete package” including high standard overnight accommodations, mouth-watering culinary experiences, access to exclusive salmon spots, organized activities, and nature and culture experiences.

BJØRA is a classic salmon fishing river that meanders slowly past large farms and delightful cultural landscapes before merging with the Namsen. This river is the home of the biggest salmon in the Namsen watercourse, and is regarded by enthusiasts as one of Norway’s very rivers for salmon fishing. You can fish from the riverbank or from a boat. Many of the anglers who travel to the Bjøra every year prefer single or two-handed fly rods, but it is also possible to fish with lures or worms. Bjøra river is also known for its excellent sea trout fishing. The salmon fishing season in Bjøra starts on May 15th, while the fishing season in Namsen starts on June 1st.

SANDDØLA converges with the Namsen river in the center of Grong. The salmon-populated part of the Sanddøla is particularly popular for fishing from the banks. In the lower parts of the river you will also find two mighty waterfalls – the Formofossen and the Tømmeråsfossen, offering exciting and challenging fishing spots. The Sanddøla offers fishing in peace and quiet. Spend some time exploring the river and you will soon discover exciting rapids, pools and deep channels that are not so easy to notice at first glance.

HØYLANDET WATERCOURSE The Høylandvassdraget watercourse includes the rivers Søråa, Eida, Flakken and Flåttelva. The Søråa is the longest of the rivers in Høylandsvassdraget watercourse, with a salmon populated stretch of about 20 kilometres. Large parts of the river run slowly through the local, well-groomed cultural landscape. For the most part the fishing takes place from the banks. The Søråa is a great river for fly fishing, especially for one-handed fly rods.

OPLØELVA river runs through the village of Salsbruket and has a considerable amount of salmon, offering thrilling experiences for most anglers. The lower part of the river is adapted for sport fishing with manmade rapids and thresholds that encourage the salmon run up the river. You can also fish salmon in the Salsvassdraget watercourse.

Her we only present some of the largest rivers and watercourses in Namdalen. You can find more information about salmon fishing on visitnamdalen.com.

MOUNTAIN FISHING You are standing on the bank of a lake with the fishing rod in your hand, surrounded by wild nature. This is where the battle will be fought. Trout, char, grayling, pike… if you win the battle you will have a tasty campfire dinner tonight.

There are thousands of fishing lakes and rivers in Namdalen. In Namsskogan alone there are more than 800 lakes and 35 rivers with trout and char. Namsskogan mountain board have wilderness cabins for rent, many of which are near fishing lakes.

Some of the cabins are close to roads and therefore well suited for family trips. In coastal area you can also get a trout or two on the hook, e.g. in the beautiful area of Salen in Namsos. Namdalen is a freshwater fishing paradise.

FISHING IN THE NATIONAL PARKS In Børgefjell National Park you can wander from one of the many excellent mountain fishing lakes to another in search of the trout fisherman’s dream catch.

Simskardvatnet and Orvatnet are among the national park’s best fishing lakes, and both the Namsen and the Vefsn river originate here. The low-lying mountain areas of Lierne National Park and Blåfjella-

Skjækerfjella are renowned for their excellent fishing. Innumerable first-rate fishing lakes and miles of river await you here. In most of the mountain lakes there are trout and in some of them there is char. In Kvesjøen you can fish lake char, trout, grayling, burbot and pike. Those who make the trip to this large lake every year can expect some magnificent specimens among their catch, and the possibility of record-breaking fish turning up on their hooks. And don’t forget the good stories of course – you should have seen the one that got away …

ICE FISHING In the winter season you can bring an auger and some ice rods and go ice fishing.

This is a fun family activity, especially when combined with some campfire cosiness.

Find your way to one of the many mountain lakes, and you will soon find trout and char that are eager to bite.

SEA FISHING Deep sea fishing has always been the bedrock of settlement and business development on the Namdalen coast. The Skrei (migrating Atlantic cod) spawns on the coastline every winter, and the rest of the year there is active fishing of both cod, pollock and halibut.

Go on a guided deep-sea fishing trip, rent a boat for the day, or try fishing from a rowboat or a kayak. There is a lot of large fish outside the Namdalen coast. Maybe going fishing with a local fisherman sounds tempting? Nothing beats spending a day fishing, then ending it with dinner made from the catch of the day. The locals always know where the big fish bite. There are many businesses with boat rentals (with or without motors), fishing gear and knowledgeable guides in the municipalities of Namsos, Flatanger and Nærøysund. Set sail!

THE SKREI FESTIVAL Late every winter something magical occurs in the sea off the shores of Namdalen.

Millions of skrei – a variety of Norwegian cod sustainably fished while in its prime– congregate on the spawning grounds intent on ensuring the survival of the

species. At the same time the communities on the Vikna islands become a hive of activity, since cod has formed the basis for all trade and settlement here since time immemorial. The Skrei Festival is a tribute to coastal culture, presenting the biggest cod fishery south of Lofoten. During the Skrei Festival you can join a trip to idyllic Vandsøya and sample the atmosphere at a fish landing station far out at sea. In Rørvik you can stroll around the pleasant market street and perhaps find a bargain among all the providers of traditional handicrafts. You can also buy locally caught cod, liver and roes here at very reasonable prices. The Skrei Festival also offers a number of cultural events, and, of course, skrei served in both traditional and more innovative ways.

The northernmost municipality on the Namdalen coastline is Leka - Norway’s geological national monument and home to some world-class experiences.

Large parts of Leka island consists of exotic red and yellow rocks, part of the ancient bedrock. The island is therefore considered to be one of the best places on earth to observe the types of rock that you would usually only find from the seabed and into the earth’s interior. Leka and parts of the Helgeland region were awarded the status as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2019. In the Skei cultural landscape area there is a bird sanctuary, rare coastal heaths and a rich cultural heritage. Herlaugshaugen is located here, one of the largest burial mounds in Norway.

The rounds stones at Støypet have many different shapes and fascinating colours.

The trail towards Ørnerovposten can entail some scrambling, but the view from the

end of the trail is lovely. On Leka you walk among colourful rocks from the deepest part of the ancient seabed. There is both gold and platinum in the thin, black stripes in the yellow rock.

Jøa – «the land in the fairytale» North-west in Namsos municipality lies Jøa island, often called «the land in the fairy-tale” after one of author Olav Duuns literary works. The author grew up at Øver-Dun and his childhood home is open for visitors in the summer. Cycling routes around the island allow you glimpses of lush farmland and varied wildlife. If you are lucky you may spot whitetailed eagles, cranes, moose and otters. There are copious amounts of deer on the island, and you will often spot them in the fields as you cycle or drive by.

The tour includes a thrilling RIB rafting trip to the fish farm. If you are a history-buff, local guides can bring you by boat to Villa lighthouse, Norway’s last coal-burning lighthouse. Thee WWII Utvorda fortress represents a thought-provoking part of the war history in the area.

During the summer the archipelago is teeming with birdlife and the majestic whitetailed eagle is a popular photo motif.

Namsen Salmon & Train Experience

NAMSEN SALMON & TRAIN EXPERIENCE

Sørsivegen 3314, 7863 Overhalla +47 414 52 535 / namsen.train@outlook.com

Overhalla

Overhalla municipality is located on both sides of the Namsen salmon river. While journeying through Overhalla you may appreciate the idyllic cultural landscapes, well-kept farms and the timber “Trønderlån” buildings along the river. On an old railway bridge over Namsen there are old NSB train carriages, converted into unique accommodation and a summer café. Here you can wake up on the bridge and revel in the view of the river as salmon jump along.

The Sørsivegen road along Namsen is a particularly nice drive, with excellent backdrops for photographing moose, opportunities for fishing and other activities in the Vesterå area.

There are plenty of accommodation along the river, most of which sell fishing licenses.

A lot of focal foods and beer are produced in Overhalla.

HISTORIC OVERHALLA:

HIKING SUGGESTION:

Overhalla is first mentioned in the saga of Harald Hairfair and the name of the municipality originates from the Norse “Æfri Halfa”.

There are more than 50 burial grounds with a total of over 800 burial mounds in Overhalla, mainly along the rivers of Namsen and Bjøra, which were used for transport. The burial mounds in Bertnem are up to 7 meters high and almost 50 meters in diameter.

There are also large burial grounds in Skage and Hunn. The medieval church (from 1187) in Ranemsletta is worth a visit.

Koltjønnhytta Cabin, Overhalla Koltjønnhytta is a cabin in Overhalla, popular among hikers and skiers all year around.

This is an easy trip in beautiful terrain, well suited for families. From Namsos you drive east on Fv17, turning left towards Skage on Fv437. Turn right at Reinbjør and drive to the parking area at the end of the road.

From the parking area in Reinbjør there are 3 km of cross-country ski trails in wintertime, though the trail to the cabin is shorter.

For those who want a longer trip up the mountain it is possible to ski from Koltjønnhytta towards Liasetran and Liakammen mountain. This trip is approximately 8 km. Koltjønnhytta is open every Sunday from Christmas until Easter, selling coffee, waffles and so on. The campfire area at Koltjønna is available for everyone to use.

Grong/Kråangke The regional centre in inner Namdalen is Grong, a natural junction on the E6 with a train station and bus connections. Here you can spend a night on a charming farm by the Namsen and Bjøra rivers, or visit some of the quaint shops and businesses along them: the local food shop at Leksås, the artisan bakery at Jørem or one of Norway’s best yarn shops at Bergsmo.

You can also wander along some of the marked trails in the municipality, perhaps a longer pilgrimage? Nordleden from Gløshaug church in Grong is the northernmost pilgrimage route in Norway. This walking route is part of the St. Olav’s Ways to Stiklestad. If you prefer wilderness you can head to the gateway to Blåfjella- Skjækerfjella National Park and start your adventure. In the winter season the ski center at Bjørgan offers great several lifts and many tracks for downhill and cross-country skiing. There are also some excellent back country ski touring trails in the surrounding mountain area.

TØMMERÅSHØLA – Norway’s most awesome natural bathing facility It is Mother Nature herself who is the architect behind what is possibly Norway’s finest open-air bathing facility. This distinctive bathing spot, Tømmeråshøla, is situated in the River Sanddøla, in the near vicinity of Grong town centre. You can frolic in the rapids here, or surrender to the flow down the spectacular slide which has been formed in the rock.

Below the falls you can bathe and sunbathe in calmer surroundings.

NORSK REVYFESTIVAL

44

Høylandet

Høylandet is an agricultural municipality in the valley along the rivers of Søråa and Kongsmoelva. The cultural landscape is green and lush with long agriculture history and modern food production.

However, Høylandet is probably most known for Norsk Revyfestival (The Norwegian Revue festival), Norway’s most amusing festival. Every other year thousands of audience members show up to be entertained, on a field in Høylandet. The revue festival is one of Norway’s leading humour events and the locals volunteer en masse to make the event happen. Last year the locals even created the world’s largest campfire coffee pot, enough for 39 000 cups.

Photographers and birth watchers will find excellent motifs in Høylandet. Flakkan natureand bird reserve is home to redshanks, greenshanks, golden- eyes, wigeons, swans and quite a few beavers. There has been proven nesting of red-throated loon, mallard, tufted duck and cranes in Øie nature reserve. Grongstadfossen waterfall is also a majestic motif.

The 75-meter waterfall is particularly impressive during the spring melt. The waterfall is signposted from Fv17, just before the centre of Høylandet. Here you can park and enjoy the waterfall, or follow a path down the river for an even better view.

CYCLING SUGGESTION: There are several signposted cycling routes in Høylandet. Around Øyvatnet lake is a nice route during the summer, with grazing horses at Bjøllia, birds in Øie nature reserve and the idyllic Svortstranda beach.

Bremburunden is a 4.5 km long route for cycling and walking. This round-trip passes Hammarsbru bridge, a protected covered bridge. Orsgrønningløypa is a 15 km long route along scenic Orsgrønningen. A detour down to Grongstadfossen waterfall is recommended. Lille Flakkenrunden is also a scenic cycling trip. You can find more suggestions on visitnamdalen.com
