Norway's longest railway, crossing the Arctic Circle with an on-board ceremony.

Nordland Railway runs from Trondheim to Bodø in Trøndelag / Nordland, covering 729 km in about ~10 hrs, operated by Vy. The closest scenic drive is the Helgeland Coast, North route, roughly 26 km away.

Why it's loved. Forests, fells and the far north in a single day, ending at the Lofoten ferry port.
