Orkland

Built around the Orkla river valley, Orkland has developed into a broad Trøndelag municipality where an inland farming and mining district meets the coast of Trondheimsfjord. The Orkla is one of Norway’s noted salmon rivers and reaches the fjord at Orkanger, the area’s administrative centre. From there, Orkland stretches inland towards Løkken Verk, whose long copper-mining history is preserved by the Thamshavn Line, a historic electric railway. The municipality also includes the former Agdenes coast, facing the meeting of Trondheimsfjord and the Norwegian Sea. Forested slopes, settled valley floors and fjordside communities shape its distinctly central Norwegian character. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Orkland.
