Mosjøen

Tucked along the Vefsna River where it reaches Vefsnfjorden, Mosjøen is a place whose character is shaped by the waterway and the steep mountains of inland Nordland. The town is the administrative centre of Vefsn municipality and sits in a long valley that connects the coast with Norway’s Swedish border country. Sjøgata runs beside the river and preserves a distinctive group of 19th-century wooden houses and former warehouses, reflecting Mosjøen’s trading past. Salmon fishing has long been associated with the Vefsna, while the river and fjord helped establish the town as a local transport centre.
