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: food shop Leksås gårdsmat, the artisan bakery at Jørem, “Læmmen” farm shop with clothes for women, and Strikkeburet, one of Norway’s best yarn shops.
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 crosscountry 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 openair 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.
