Lonsdal train station

Lonsdal train station, Nordland, Norway. Arctic circle train from Bodo to Trondheim. At 729 kilometres, the Nordland Railway is Norways longest. The journey presents a huge variety in landscape, culture, and climate. It will take you through fertile farmland and great forests in Trondelag, across the majestic Saltfjellet range, and down to the coast between Rognan and Bodo. At Saltfjellet mountain range you cross the Arctic Circle, marking the boundary of the polar region. In winter you can experience the magical northern lights here, and in summer youll see the gleaming midnight sun. On the southward journey, the train passes through Mo i Rana, with its industrial history. From there, you continue down Borgefjell where those with a thirst for adventure can make their dreams come true. The train then carves its way through massive forests, past wild mountain scenery, alongside rivers teeming with fish. It passes Namsskogan Familiepark, narrow fjords, Stiklestad, and eventually arrives at the 1000-year-old university town of Trondheim.
