With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Namsos, 25 miles away, has to offer. Norwegian Sawmill Museum, Namdal Museum and Norsk Sagbruksmuseum alone justify the drive. Located 35 miles away, Grong is another popular tourist destination. If you stop by, be sure to check out Bjørgan Skianlegg, Grong Church and Grong Ski Area.
