The northernmost municipality on the Namdalen coast is Leka ­ Norway’s geological national monument and home to world­class 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. You can visit the cave paintings in Solsem with a guide during the summer.
