Sjunkhatten National Park

Sjunkhatten National Park is a protected area in Nordland that stretches across three municipalities. The landscape combines fjords, mountains, forests, lakes, and cave systems into one diverse natural environment.

The Norwegian government designated this area as a national park in 2010 to protect its geological formations. The designation safeguarded the natural ecosystems across this varied landscape.

The park territory contains numerous sites reflecting the traditional practices of local communities and their connection to the land.

Several hiking trails cross through the area and connect different sections together. Bodø serves as the main access point for exploring this extensive parkland.

The area contains an extensive network of underground caves and water systems formed by glacial activity. These geological structures form one of the most interesting features for visitors wanting to explore the hidden architecture of the landscape.
