Rohkunborri National Park, National park in Bardu Municipality, Norway.
Rohkunborri National Park is a protected area in northern Norway near the Swedish border, spreading across a large landscape of mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers. The terrain displays typical Arctic scenery with peaks and broad valleys that change appearance with the seasons.
The park was established in 2011 as part of Norway's effort to protect natural landscapes across its northern regions. This decision reflects a modern commitment to preserving wild areas in the country.
The park lies within lands where Sami communities continue their traditional reindeer herding, a practice that shapes both the landscape and how people move through this region today. This way of life remains visible in the choices communities make about how they use and care for the land.
The park can be accessed through multiple entry points near Setermoen village, from where visitors can explore the landscape on foot. Visitors should prepare for Arctic weather and bring warm, waterproof clothing.
The region hosts rare Arctic rhododendrons and serves as home to brown bears, wolverines, lynx, and birds of prey like snowy owls. These Arctic animals are hard to spot, but their presence shows the wildness of this place.
