“The Queen of the North” – the Saltdal river
The beautiful Saltdal river (Saltdalselva) stretches from Saltfjellet mountains to Rognan. Ankermoen in Storjord is where two rivers meet – the Junkerdalselva flows down the beautiful Junkerdalen valley and the Lønsdalselva flowing down from the Saltfjellet mountains. From this point, it is called the Saltdal river. You can explore the many nice forest roads near the river and do not need to go far before you are in the wilderness.

Nordlandsmuseet, Saltdal Folk Museum
The museum is built up around a beautiful farmstead, where the family of skipper Ellingsen lived from 1750 until the end of the 19th century. The rest of the museum consists of some around 20 historic buildings dating from the 17th to 20th centuries.

Blood Road Museum
The Blood Road Museum is situated in the grounds of Saltdal Museum. The story of the lives and work of prisoners of war under the German regime from 1942-45 is presented in a German barracks moved here from the Dunderdalen valley. Thousands of prisoners of war from eastern Europe were sent north to build roads and railways. They suffered inhuman conditions and many never returned. This is an experience with a difference in surroundings where the silence is tangible. Words are inadequate here, but the impressions are many and deep. This is an important journey through a period which must never be forgotten. -
Experiences close to town
The headland Tangodden is within walking distance (4 km) of the centre of Rognan. Walk along the shoreline and through the “Hundred-acre wood” before you reach the lighthouse. This is a good place for sea fishing and there is also a rich bird and plant life. In days gone by, the coastal rocks at Tangodden were used to dry clipfish.
