Just off the E6 in Rognan 32km south of Fauske, Saltdal Folk Museum is a collection of typical rural and fishing-related buildings, many with turf roofs. Reception and cafe (try the local speciality, møsbromlefse, a sweetish light pancake laced with cream and cheese) are in the Skippergården building.
