\n\t\t\t\tNordland is vibrant cities and communities, deep fjords, high mountains and a unique cultural connection to Europe. Coastal culture, Sami culture, Viking history, painters, literature, artists, local produce and food await you!\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

The county is divided into five different regions, each with its own unique character, institutions and Sami identity. This is a story about a region where nature \u2013 the mountains and fjords \u2013 sets the scene, and about why coastal culture is so important to us.
