Ånderdalen National Park
Ånderdalen nasjonalpark
Primeval forest and mountain national park in southern Senja, with ancient pine forests and alpine lakes, seldom visited.
Ånderdalen National Park was established in 1970 and covers about 125 square km. It protects native pine and birch forests, bogs and alpine terrain in southern Senja. Its forests hold centuries-old pines, and wildlife such as moose and white-tailed eagles can be seen. The main entrance is at a car park on the east side, and boardwalks and marked trails lead to places such as Lake Odd. It suits half-day to full-day hikes, and there are cabins along the way where you can spend the night. Mosquitoes are common in summer, and September, when the birch leaves turn yellow, is the most beautiful time. Entry is free.
