From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park is a national park in the county of Nordland in Norway. It is located within the municipalities of Beiarn, Meløy, Rana, Rødøy, Saltdal and Bodø. It is one of the largest national parks in Norway, and possibly the most varied, as it includes both alpine mountain formations with glacier tongues, as well as gently sloping mountain plateaus and forested valleys. The national park encompasses parts of the mountain range Saltfjellet.
The glacier Svartisen is a central part of the park. There are also many Saami cultural landmarks.
There are cabins and hiking routes in the park; Bjellåvasstua in the northeastern part near Bjellåvatnet (lake), 720 m elevation, 9 October 2006.
