Skjerstad - Skierrestáde - Skierrestádde

The landscape around Skjerstad is defined by steep, forested slopes meeting the long Skjerstadfjorden, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and livelihoods based on the fjord and surrounding land. This small community lies in Bodø Municipality, well inland from the open Norwegian Sea, in Nordland’s coastal mountain country. Skjerstadfjorden forms part of the wider Saltfjorden system; farther west, Saltstraumen connects it with Saltfjorden through powerful tidal currents. Skjerstad was the administrative centre of its own municipality until its merger with Bodø in 2005, a reminder of its long local role.
