The museum shows the war history from Bodø and Salten with several theme exhibitions and we have a separate department that deals with the war sailors.

Great views from the air tower and an excellent review of aviation - especially if you have knowledge of the air force yourself
4. Blood Road Museum
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 9 reviews
The Blood Road Museum is situated in the grounds of Saltdal Museum. The story of the lives and work of prisoners of war under the German regime from 1942-1945 is presented in a German barracks moved here from Dunderdalen. Thousands of prisoners of war from eastern Europe were sent north to build roads and railways. They suffered inhuman conditions. Many never returned. This is a different tour experience in surroundings where the silence is tangible. Words are inadequate but impressions are many and deep. This is an important journey in a time which must never be forgotten.
