The museum is a popular spot for outings among the people of Bodo. The grounds were purchased by the Nordland Museum in 1938 and all the buildings there have been relocated from various other places in Nordland. In the boathouses we find the Nordland Museum’s boat collection. The big grey boathouse houses the country’s only Nordland Jekt, the ”Anna Karoline”. She was built in 1876 and brought ashore here in Bodosjoen in 1959. The ”jekt” were cargo vessels used to carry stockfish and other goods to Bergen for over 400 years. Mid-summer event with a range of activities. Guided tours available on request.

“You have to have been there to understand,” sings the local troubadour, Terje Nilsen, describing Mjelle in a song. In the summer, many excursions end at Mjelle, both weekends and weekdays. You don’t have to be a child to collect shells or build sand castles, or to enjoy a good ball game. Bring firewood and cooking equipment if you want to barbecue.

The church was originally built in 1886 by Eliseus Hansen. However, because of poor foundations it was dismantled in 1903 and moved to its present location. The church contains 4 stained glass windows by Borger Hauglid, and a font made of local Fauske marble which dates from 1953. The two church bells are from 1885. The pulpit and altar area are said to have been created by Kristian Nilsen from Fjell and Kristian Jakobsen from Kodvag. The altar piece was painted and gilded by Theodor Madsen. The organ was built in Norway in 1967 and has 16 voices. Its front is from the church’s original organ built in 1904.

The new Kjerringoy church was consecrated in 1883. The furnishings are a mix of old and new. The oldest furnishings are from the 1600s. In the portal there are a large collection box and two sacrificial wall plaques. The smaller plaque bears the date 1730. Inside the church there is a collection bowl from 1760 which was used for the collection. Especially treasured is the blackboard next to the pulpit, which bears the date 1601 and was restored by Oscar Bodogaard in 1974. Christian Bo painted the altar piece in 1885.

"Ok I know, it is just running water, but so is a waterfall ant that attracts people also.
It is not the water it is the power of the water what makes saltstraumen an interesting place.
Water running with fascinating speed, creating powerful whirlpools. That said, if you come here at the right time...", better said at the right tide. If not then it is just running water....
Crab your fishing rod and catch some pollack and cod, if you are a real fisherman, then rent a boat on the other side of the bridge and go after the big fish.
You can stay on the camping close to the bridge to camp or rent a cabin (can be rented out in the summer)
You can buy some fishing gear in the supermarket across the camping.
I think it is the only interesting place in Bodø area, so don't plan your whole Norway trip to see this
violence by nature, but visit it on your way to or from the northcape when you are road tripping or when you travel from the Lofoten.

"A voyage through the world strongest tidal stream "Saltstraumen", is like a ride on boiling waters.
We fight against a current with more than 20 ktns. I was really happy to be in the hands of experienced skipper. A great scenery, wonderful ice-falls, sea eagles and the infinite power of nature - m..."agnificent.

"Excellent museum which focuses on military avition but has a civil plane hall too. Planes (on military side) are not situated too closely to each other and there are lots of them. Only negative point was that plane hall was somewhat dark so taking good photos with a basic camera (or basic photograph..."ing skills) might be demanding. Museum has a nice book and gift shop, cafeteria, clean toilets and from the parking place you can spot military and civil planes taking off and landing from Bodö airport.
