In the house where her great-grandparents started a guesthouse in 1923, the hospitable couple offers, in keeping with tradition, a handful of unique rooms as shelter for the night. Just outside, great nature experiences await, with a small forest in front that hides an imperceptible E6 from here.

We are rewarded, and enjoy the sight of the wildlife that has drawn down towards us. We are also rewarded when we make our way by bike in a pleasant, open forest of tall pine trees on a prepared path. The history of the area is well explained on signs in places. Along the way we stop at a dead ice pit, hollowed out by a large iceberg. It was probably buried in enormous masses before it took ten years to thaw, we can read, before just beyond we study the remains of a trap made a long, long time ago, when man trapped reindeer by making invisible holes in the ground.

What a relief it is that they are allowed to touch things. Here, not everything is about show. Learning is conveyed with joy and commitment. An exhibition of Stone Age people in a cave particularly captivates Adam. Here, he gets to see how people dressed and lived in the past. Trembling with enthusiasm, he tells Benny what he learned about the Stone Age when he was at Tuvsjyen by Saltstraumen, where he got to dress up as a real Stone Age boy. Patience is a virtue, Benny listens. And the aunt understands that it is important for her nephew to take part in a conversation, rather than just listening. Seeing people and getting people to see each other is an important part of Benny&#8217;s pleasant flow of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div

variety of outdoor activities, we continue down to Birgit. She is waiting for us out in the field, in a real peat bog, below the visitor centre. Here at Roparneset, a Sami settlement has been built, authentically based on building customs from when people lived like this. When the place is also brought to life by Birgit, who grew up like this until she was nine years old, it is hard to take in how quickly society has changed. She prepares traditional Gahkku over a fire, while we sit on birch rice around her. The situation is comparable to that experienced by those before her 200 years ago, and perhaps even further back in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-can-t-read-about-such-experiences-or-watch-movies\">You can&#8217;t read about such experiences or watch movies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to experience it with your whole being to feel the right feeling. \u2013 Everything falls into place when you get a whole, which you get when you come down to Birgit. To a meeting with her that is anything but directed. She has no planned script that she reads out, which is why it feels so good and so real. She accepts what the visitors have in their hearts, says Benny. It is so powerful to meet Birgit as a contemporary witness, a last generation who can convey the atmosphere around her Sami traditions, as she has grown up with them. Dare to ask her questions! She welcomes them warmly. Together you become part of a meeting. We will never forget our meeting with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010166_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1176\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010166_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010166_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010163_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1222\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010163_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_-768x1173.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010163_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010164_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010164_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010164_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010165_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010165_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010165_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-art-is-often-derived-from-nature-the-two-enrich-and-reinforce-each-other\">Art is often derived from nature: the two enrich and reinforce each other<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/visitbodo.com\/naturopplevelser\/nordland-nasjonalparksenter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nordland Nasjonalparksenter<\/a> is located midway between the Saltfjellet\/Svartisen and Junkerdalen national parks, and consists of the Adde Zatterquist Art Gallery and the Nordland National Park Visitor Center. The units often form the largest connection: The two hang together. Art galleries have an exciting architectural design that houses a permanent exhibition of paintings.

Meisler has worked at the Adde Zetterquist Art Gallery since its inception in 2013. He shows us the pictures and talks about different ways of looking at them. We who listen and see get a feeling that stress can be like a temperature, like a feeling created by a painted reindeer herd in motion, in close interaction with humans. We who observe and take in the expressions in the pictures are left with a feeling of getting a shortcut to our own emotional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-national-park-center-is-a-great-starting-point-for-trips\">The National Park Center is a great starting point for trips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the bag is a friendly lynx in the form of a teddy bear bought from the museum shop. A lynx that is tough enough to pass as a teddy bear for an eight-year-old. \u2013 It is a nature experience in itself just to walk to Storjord Hotell from here, says Benny. He reminds us that visitors can get good hiking tips for easy and more demanding hikes. In the museum shop you can buy maps, and at the Saltdal tourist center a short distance away you can have a good meal before you take your legs or wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010225_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010225_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Picnicking in Junkerdalen \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010225_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Picnicking in Junkerdalen \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010197_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010197_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Do something fun yourselves \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010197_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Do something fun yourselves \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010222_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010222_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Remote border mountain \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010222_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Remote border mountain \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010258_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1228\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010258_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_-768x1179.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday is on! \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/010258_Kathrine-Soergaard_nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Holiday is on! \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Picnicking in Junkerdalen \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Do something fun yourselves \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Remote border mountain \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Holiday is on! \u00a9 Katrine S\u00f8rg\u00e5rd<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-is-difficult-to-find-a-better-starting-point-for-entering-nature\">It is difficult to find a better starting point for entering nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u2013 At the national park center there is a lot of information available, and you can park your car and then you can set off or paddle down the river to Rognan, take a summit trip to high alpine areas: To class peaks like Solv\u00e5gtind.

The cabin that they use as a base while exploring Saltdal is well equipped from a natural point of view with warm valleys, steep, lush mountain sides that merge into high mountains.

Spending some time on the wild roads to experience the view of the dramatic river gorge in Junkerdalsura is well worth it. The nature reserve is known as a botanical gem and attracted the great Knut Hamsun during his writings. From the rest area in Junkerdal you can look over to the mighty Kjem\u00e5fossen waterfall.

To get up here, the train must climb steeply 30 kilometers, from R\u00f8kland which is located at just under 24 meters. A train section that was completed in 1955. At L\u00f8nsdal, the mountain world is immediately accessible, in one of our protected national park areas. Drive carefully through the summer night.

In the yard right next to their private home and work area is a spacious barn that we are invited into. Here we hear stories about reindeer herding and how their ancestors have made a living from the mountains, just like them. They tell us about their traditions and values \u200b\u200bin a low voice, over the festive food Bidos, made from reindeer, of course. With their involvement in <a href=\"https:\/\/visitbodo.com\/en\/activity\/group-activity\/saltfjell-sami-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saltfjell Sami Adventures<\/a> and Saltfjell Reinprodukter, they preserve Sami food traditions. We enjoy flavors from pasture to table in front of the fire, while a reindeer calf that lost its mother on pasture lies at its mother Nina&#8217;s feet. It has been a long time since the family has had a bottle-fed calf with them. We are careful not to disturb it too much.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull vnn-hero wp-block-vnn-hero\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__media\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/polarsirkelen-1.jpg);background-position: 50% 50%;\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__gradient\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__inner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-arcrtic-circle\">What is the Arcrtic Circle? <\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-arctic-circle-is-the-boundary-to-the-arctic-region\/\">It is moving &#8230; <\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-elin-kristina-oskal-is-the-sami-voice-of-anna-in-disney-s-animated-film-frozen-2\">Elin Kristina Oskal is the Sami voice of &#8220;Anna&#8221; in Disney&#8217;s animated film, &#8220;Frozen 2&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The family is both proud and happy about Elin&#8217;s efforts. The fact that such a major initiative is voiced in the Sami language is something that mother Nina and sister Anne Margaretha are delighted about. &#8211; For the recording, Elin Kristina had to learn even more about the language along the way. During the meeting in the gammen, Anna Margaretha also explains to us about the panels on the costumes that she and mother Nina wear. They tell us something about where they originated. We are fascinated by the fact that there is so much history in the textiles they wear. While Anne Margaretha is telling the story, little Elida sits quietly on a bench next to her, listening as if spellbound. The situation is close, and once again we experience that questions are warmly welcomed, especially those that are detailed and a little outside the most obvious questions. Feel a little extra before you ask, is our advice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-spend-more-time-in-each-place-than-we-think-in-advance\">We spend more time in each place than we think in advance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply because we know with all our heart how important it is to be present in the experiences we have, there and then. That&#8217;s how the trip becomes so rich. On the way we also turn into Rognan, which became a lively community after mostly housing the boathouses of the valley and mountain farmers. The sea was their means of transport, the road over Saltfjellet did not come until the late 1930s. From the late 19th century there was a steamship wharf, telegraph and bank that attracted merchants, craftsmen, workers, fishermen and civil servants. Because Rognan was hit by fire, the place is characterized by a rough but exciting mixed architecture. By the harbor you can still hear the sound of large halls where there is still operation in a real boatbuilding, where boatbuilder Kai Linde is happy to talk about this tradition. A little further on you can stay overnight at Halsg\u00e5rden, a beautiful Nordland house above rocky cliffs from which it is exciting to fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mosbromlefsa-is-popular-freshly-fried-on-a-griddle-and-crispy-that-s-how-it-should-be\">M\u00f8sbr\u00f8mlefsa is popular: Freshly fried on a griddle and crispy, that&#8217;s how it should be<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer, you can experience real-life pastry chefs at <a href=\"https:\/\/visitbodo.com\/en\/accommodation\/cabins\/nordnes-kro-camping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nordneskroa<\/a>, between Storjord and Rognan. If you&#8217;re daring, order one with some old-salted saithe. &#8211; Ah, can you send me a lefse over the phone, sighs mother Sigrid. She was raised on such food, and misses it, after she made a fool of herself many years ago. I guarantee you, you&#8217;ve probably never tasted anything quite like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-on-the-way-to-mosbromlefsa-you-may-like-us-encounter-reindeer-grazing-on-the-roadside\">On the way to M\u00f8sbr\u00f8mlefsa, you may, like us, encounter reindeer grazing on the roadside.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drive carefully! Relatively close to the inn, which also serves food you&#8217;ve heard of before, you can turn up the recently improved volunteer road over Misv\u00e6rfjellet. A nice detour if your destination is Bod\u00f8. I myself experienced driving on the Snaufjellet mountain at times on my way to my childhood summer holidays with my grandmother Ragna in Breivika. Before we got there, we stopped at rest areas and cultural monuments that you now have to walk to since the road over Saltfjellet has been rebuilt. In an album I find a faded photo of myself as a child, at a rest area on Saltfjellet.
