Steinkjer Municipality

Steinkjer is a municipality in the Trøndelag region comprising several towns and villages spread across valleys and coastline in central Norway. The area includes both settlement zones and extensive natural surroundings with forests and hillsides.

The municipality developed around fishing and trade activities that have shaped local life for generations. Growth accelerated in the 1800s when water transport and later the railway connected it to broader regions.

You can explore the different villages and main town by car or using public transport, which offers good regional connections. Summer visits are most comfortable, as weather is milder and roads are easier to navigate.
