Lomsdal–Visten National Park, National park in Nordland, Norway.
Lomsdal-Visten National Park covers mountainous terrain with fjords, deciduous woodlands, and coniferous forests, with peaks reaching around 1230 meters. The landscape combines different forest types and waterways that together create various natural habitats.
The area shows traces of human settlement from around 9,000 years ago, documented through archaeological finds and structures. The national park itself was established in 2009 to protect this long-inhabited landscape.
The Sami people, who name this area Njaarken Vaarjelimmiedajve, maintain traditional reindeer husbandry practices within the Jillen-Njaarke grazing district.
The area has five access points with parking facilities and information boards to help visitors navigate. Boat services from the Nevernes landing provide access to the northern and southern shores.
The area contains karstic formations with underground rivers, caves, and natural stone arches shaped by weathering. These geological features create a landscape pattern that stands out from typical Nordic mountain regions.
