Diversity is beautiful - and attractive!

A diverse and intact nature gives good opportunities for rich adventures outdoors. Hunting and fishing trips are important spare time activities for many people. Some like to walk long hard distances, while others prefer shorter trips in their local area. Others again find pleasure in watching birds, insects or plants. And many enjoy picking berries and mushrooms in autumn.

A diverse nature gives varied experiences, and a possibility to satisfy many different requirements.

This is something that the inhabitants in North-Norway know how to value. Also an increasing number of visitors come to our province to experience the nature here. Tourism is a business that is increasing in size, and there is little doubt that our great nature and interesting culture are the star attractions for most arriving here.
