Norwegian Sawmill Museum
Tells the history about the Norwegian sawmill industry. This was, around the start of the 19th century, one of Norway’s largest industries with several hundred steam powered sawmills, one of which is the base for this museum. The mill is still occasionally used today to produce high quality replicas for restoration projects. Also at the museum is the M/B "Hauka", a 1934 ship used for towing logs to the mill in summer, and icebreaking in the winter.
Salvatnet is a lake north of Namsos. While barely above sea level, this is the second deepest lake in Europe at some 470 meters. Some 3000 years ago this was still a saltwater fjord but was then separated from the ocean during the post-glacial rebound. Salt water in the lake got trapped in the deepest part of the lake and is still there as a separate layer that does not mix with the freshwater above.
