Hemnes

Ranfjord and the mountains rising from its shores define much of Hemnes – they have concentrated settlement, transport and industry along narrow fjord margins. Hemnesberget, on a peninsula in the fjord, is the municipality’s administrative centre and a long-established coastal community with a history of boatbuilding. Inland, the Røssåga watercourse runs through the Korgen area on its way to the fjord; its regulated flow supports major hydroelectric generation. The municipality extends from fjordside settlements towards forests, lakes and high ground near the Swedish border, creating a distinctly coastal-and-inland Nordland character.
