Nordland railway Trondheim - Bodo

Individual journey to Trondheim. Trondheim, founded by the Vikings in the 10th century, is one of the oldest and historically most important cities in Norway. The city is a living testimony to Norway's rich history. Visit the most beautiful sights such as the cathedral and the historic waterfront with its old warehouses. Trondheim's old town centre invites you to stroll around. Many cafés and restaurants line the cobbled streets. Depending on your flight schedule, we recommend an additional overnight stay here so that you can enjoy this city to the full.

The Nordland Railway departs Trondheim around midday. After approx. 2 hours you have reached Røra.
A taxi from the hotel picks you up from the railway station and takes you to your accommodation, Øyna Parken AS. This hotel is uniquely integrated into the landscape. From here you can visit various local food productions, such as a cheese factory, or take an e-bike tour in the surrounding area when the weather is nice.

In the morning you continue to Steinkjer and from there on to Grong. When the train reaches the province of Nordland, get ready for mountain areas and more tunnels. Always have your camera to hand! You have a good chance of spotting reindeer and other wildlife - especially when the train crosses the Saltfjellet mountains.
In Grong, you will be picked up at the railway station and driven to your hotel. Namsentunet is beautifully situated by the Namsen River. Various activities are on offer. (Fishing, boat trip)

Around midday, the Nordland Railway continues northwards. After about two hours you have reached your next destination. In the tranquil village of Mosjøen, you have time to visit the wooden church (Dolstad kirke) and the Sjøgata ("lake road"), which is lined with one of the longest rows of old wooden houses in Europe.
The surrounding area is ideal for hiking or rafting.

The journey to Mo i Rana takes about an hour by train. You will be picked up at the railway station by a taxi from the hotel and driven to Ytteren, which lies on the Ranfjord. You move into a cosy wooden cabin with a view of the fjord for one night.
