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, rivers and mountain lakes. The landscape is marked 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.

Lierne/Lijre NATIONAL PARK

Lierne National Park has a diverse flora and fauna in untouched surroundings – the perfect spot for eager hunters, fishing- and wild camping enthusiasts. The landscape is also a fantastic exhibition of how the Ice Age left its mark on the area. The national park is characterized by low-lying, open mountainous areas, apart from the Hestkjølen mountain range, 1,300 metres above sea level. The varied landscape is home to a number of different bird species, especially 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 is great for species requiring sizeable territories such as wolverine, lynx and bears. There are also a wide range of cultural monuments in the park, signalling 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.

SALMON FISHING

STEINAR JOHANSEN

VisitNamdalen_ENG_2022.indd 8

14.12.2021 10:26:09

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 countryside to its estuary in Namsos. Every year large salmon over 20kgs is caught in the river. 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 Bjøra every year prefer single or two-handed fly rods, but you can fish with lures or worms too. 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

VisitNamdalen_ENG_2022.indd 9

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 – Formofossen and 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 difficult to spot 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 cultivated fields and cultural landscapes. 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 number 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.

NAMSSKOGAN FJELLSTYRE

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. Utmarkscompagniet sells fishing licenses here. Namdalen is a freshwater fishing paradise. FISHING IN THE NATIONAL PARKS In Børgefjell National Park you can wander from excellent mountain fishing lake to excellent fishing lake, searching for a 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. Visit Børgefjell can give you the best tips for fishing in this

VisitNamdalen_ENG_2022.indd 10

area. 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 is trout, and in some of them there is char. In Kvesjøen you can fish lake char, trout, grayling, burbot and pike. Those who venture to this large lake can expect to catch some magnificent specimens and maybe even get a record-breaking fish on the hook. 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. Guides available.

SEA fisHING Deep sea fishing is the foundation for 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 people fish regular cod, pollock and halibut, to name a few. There is a lot of large fish outside the Namdalen coast. Maybe going fishing with a local fisherman sounds good? Nothing beats spending a day fishing, then ending the day 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 Every winter something magical occurs in the sea off the shores of Namdalen. Millions of skrei – a 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. Cod has formed the basis for all trade and settle-

VisitNamdalen_ENG_2022.indd 11

ment 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. There are several cultural events during the festival, and, of course, skrei served in both traditional and more innovative ways. Read more about fishing on visitnamdalen.com.

HISTORY OF NAMDALEN

Namdalen as we know it today was founded on agriculture, forestry and fishing. Of these, forestry has likely been the most important for the region as a whole. Log driving in the Namsen watercourse created jobs all throughout the region. Namsos has had sawmills for almost 170 years. Early history and the Viking age People have lived in Namdalen for thousands of years. We see traces of them in stone age cave paintings in Solsemhula on Leka island. We also see traces of them at “Væremsfeltet” in Grong, an iron age settlement. On Jøa island there are still building foundations from 550 BC – 799 AD. Close by is Janheim, a reconstructed Iron Age longhouse based on the original Viking long house in the same area. There are many Iron Age and Viking Age burial mounds in Namdalen. Just Overhalla municipality has 50 known burial sites, with more than 800 burial mounds. Herlaugshaugen burial mound is a boat grave, said to belong to King Herlaug, a powerful chieftain just before the reign of Harald Fairhair. This is the third largest Viking Age burial mound in Norway. If you travel south towards Abelvær you will find Ramstad. This was the seat of power in the Hrafnista chiefdom. Vikings from Hrafnista left Namdalen and journeyed to Iceland. They became the forefathers to several famous families mentioned in Njålsaga.

This is how we know the story of several Vikings from Namdalen.

Sami history in Namdalen Namdalen is part of the Southern Sami area in Saepmie. Today many locals identify as Sami, have Sami heritage or Sami ancestors. Archaeology shows Sami presence in the region since 100-750 AD, long before any written source confirms Sami settlement. Throughout history there have been both coastal Sami (making a living through farming, fishing and other trades) and Sami in the mountain, (making a living through reindeer husbandry). After centuries of discrimination, Sami culture and Sami languages are now being actively revitalised. For example, Røyrvik is part of the administrative area for Southern Sami language, meaning all public communication must be presented in Sami and in Norwegian alike. The languages are equal. February 6th is Saemiej åålmegebiejjie – the Sami national day.

Did you know… You can find objects from Viking graves in Namdalen at British Museum in London? Quite a few of the burial mounds along the Namsen river have been excavated by British “salmon lords” and archaeologists.

Early in the season the most popular trail starts from the ski center, up towards Heia. You can follow this trail onward to Kvernsjøen, into Snøådalen towards Snøhytta, or up the mountain to Geitfjelltoppen. The trail to Kvernsjøen is a great ski trip both in daytime and in the evening, with a head torch.

• Join a winter fishing trip Winter is a great time to try deep sea fishing on the Namdalen coast, in a rented boat or with a guide. There are plenty of place to go ice fishing too, for those who prefer the mountains.

Flatanger

The municipality of Flatanger consists of some mainland, several smaller fjords and 1084 islands of varying sizes. The bountiful fishing banks off the coast lend themselves to excellent deep-sea fishing, with or without a guide. You may catch cod, pollock, mackerel and halibut while fishing here. Kayaking and diving are also popular aquatic activities in Flatanger. In Lauvsnes and nearby villages you can stay overnight in traditional rorbu, holiday houses or camp sites. The aquaculture industry plays an important role in the area. At Bjørøya you can get a tour of the fish farm facilities and learn about modern salmon production. 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. The 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 white tailed eagle is a popular photo motif. «The Eagle Man» brings eager photo graphers into the archipelago to experience Northern Europe’s largest bird of prey up close. Seagulls follow and beg for fish, which they get of course. In scenic Flatanger you can have active days, fresh air, peace and quiet.

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. The name of the municipality originates from the Norse “Æfri Halfa”. There are more than 50 burial grounds, with in excess of 800 burial mounds in Overhalla, mainly along the rivers of Namsen and Bjøra. The rivers were used for transport. The burial mounds at Bertnem almost 7 meters high and nearly 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

VisitNamdalen_ENG_2022.indd 46

Koltjønnhytta Cabin, Overhalla Koltjønn hytta is a cabin in Overhalla, popular among hikers and skiers all year around. This is an easy walk in beautiful terrain, well suited for families. Drive east on Fv17 from Namsos, then turn 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 (one way) of cross-country ski trails in wintertime. If you prefer a longer hike up the mountain, you can ski from Koltjønn hytta towards Liasetran and Liakammen mountain. This trip is approximately 8 km, each way. 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. There are 11 signposted trails in Overhalla.

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 COOLEST NATURAL BATHING SPOT Mother Nature herself is the architect behind what is possibly Norway’s finest open-air bathing spot. This distinctive bathing spot, Tømmeråshøla, is situated in Sanddøla river, close to Grong town centre. Here you can frolic in the rapids, or go with the flow down the spectacular slide which has been formed in the rock. Below the falls you can bathe and sunbathe in calmer surroundings. Always keep an eye on children or others who struggle with swimming when visiting Tømmeråshøla.

NORSK REVYFESTIVAL

VisitNamdalen_ENG_2022.indd 50

14.12.2021 10:26:46

Høylandet

Høylandet is an agricultural municipality in the river valley surrounding Søråa and Kongsmoelva. The landscape is green and lush with a rich 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 people show up in a field in Høylandet to be entertained. The revue festival is one of Norway’s leading humour events and the locals volunteer en masse to make the event happen. In 2019 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 nature and bird reserve is home to redshanks, greenshanks, golden- eyes, wigeons, swans and quite a few beavers. Red-throated loon, mallard, tufted duck and cranes all nest in Øie nature reserve. Grongstadfossen waterfall is also a good photo 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. Cycling around Øyvatnet lake is nice 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
