400 meters from Lønsdal Station, you’ll find a pine tree with its bark removed.
Follow the directional signs leading away from the station building.
Bark-peeled pine trees are traces of traditional Sámi resource use, once a common practice. The bark was typically removed from pine trees around 100 years old. The inner bark could be eaten as it was, or it could be toasted, ground into flour, and mixed with reindeer milk. Sinew thread, an important material in the Sámi handicraft tradition duodji, was stored in the inner bark to keep it soft. The outer bark could be boiled to make a disinfectant for treating wounds.
Six Sámi cultural heritage sites are signposted along the E6 highway.
These cultural heritage sites are protected under Norwegian law.
