Steinkjer is the administrative centre of Nord-Trøndelag. It has a long history and can offer lots to its visitors, from interesting stone carvings and burial mounds, to stunning bunads (Norwegian traditional clothing) made with traditional methods. With its many rivers and lakes, the Steinkjer area is known for its great fishing, and the city is a good starting point for travel further north via the beautiful Kystriksveien coastal highway.
