Sjunkhatten National Park
Sjunkhatten nasjonalpark
A wild national park northeast of Bodø, where fjords, deep valleys and mountain lakes intertwine. It is a good destination for day hikes near the city.
Sjunkhatten National Park was established in 2010 and covers about 418 square km. The terrain ranges from fjords at sea level to mountains over 1,000 m high. It includes U-shaped glacial valleys, waterfalls, lakes and virgin forest, and visitors may see moose and golden eagles. The easiest access points are around Heggmoen and Fjære, where marked trails and simple huts are available. The park has no facilities, so bring your own equipment and check the weather. It is about 40–60 km from the city center.
