2 Best Sights in Northern Norway, Norway

Ånderdalen National Park

Open to the public in 1970 and expanded in 2004, this national park protects a wide swath of coastline in northern Norway. Thanks to preservation efforts, moose and other animals have returned to the area. You will find plenty of seabirds along the rocky coast, along with seals in the fjords and otters in the rivers. Transportation options are limited, so rent a car and then explore on foot. Bring a good pair of walking shoes.

Stabbursdalen National Park

It's a stretch, but this gorgeous, undeveloped area can be reached in a long day-trip by car from Honningsvåg, though easily doable during the endless summer days. The national park is home to the northernmost pine forest in the world. The park wraps around the Stabburselva River, and there is a lovely waterfall that is a great destination for hikers.
