Our municipality also includes a large number of holiday cabins. There are more than 2100 cabins in Nordre Land, and more are being built. The center of development is the mountain area “Synnfjellet”. The highest peak of Synnfjellet is “Spåtindtoppen”, 1414 meters above sea level. Close to Synnfjellet you’ll find “Ormtjernskampen” National Park.

 

We also have a thriving business sector. The highest number of employees is found within public services, followed by commodity trade, industry and finally agriculture and forestry. We have traditionally been a region based on agriculture, and have extensive forest resources.

 

A new business park and the planned Dokka Delta National Wetland Center are important projects which can contribute to further business establishments and the creation of jobs. The goal of the business park is to increase local economic growth, and to facilitate the establishment of new businesses. The municipalities of Nordre Land and Søndre Land have recently established a corporation for the Dokka Delta National Wetland Center.
