Orkanger

Orkanger sits at the mouth of the Orkla River on Orkdalsfjorden in Trøndelag, where the broad Orkdalen valley opens towards Trondheim Fjord. The town is the administrative centre of Orkland municipality and a regional hub, with housing, commerce and industry gathered between the river, fjord and low surrounding hills. The Orkla is widely known as a salmon river, while the historic Thamshavn Line recalls the area’s industrial past: opened in 1908, it linked the mines at Løkken Verk with the port at Thamshavn. Orkanger makes a useful starting point for following the valley inland or travelling through central Norway. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Orkanger and Trøndelag.
