Indre Fosen Municipality

Now we’re sailing north along the Fosen Peninsula, a rugged and forested landscape where nature and culture have coexisted for thousands of years. Here, the fjord meets farms, old travel routes, and small communities shaped by pride and a strong sense of belonging. The area you see now belongs to Indre Fosen Municipality, which stretches from the mouth of the Trondheimsfjord inland toward hills and forest. Here you'll find villages like Rissa, Stadsbygd, Leksvik, and Vanvikan, where people have lived closely with nature for generations, relying on farming, fishing, and small-scale industry. Fosen has long been a crossroads between the inland and the coast, and between different cultures. Traces of Sámi settlements, Norse mythology, and Christian medieval life are found in place names, burial mounds, and the ruins of ancient monasteries. On the opposite side of the fjord, you can see the village of Lensvik, the largest settlement in the northwestern part of Orkland Municipality. It's also known as the "Strawberry Village"—and with good reason. You'll have a hard time finding strawberries sweeter or juicier than those grown here.
