Introducing Fauske
Fauske is known mainly for fine marble. Its ‘Norwegian Rose’ stone features in many a monumental building, including the Oslo Rådhus, the UN headquarters in New York and the Emperor’s palace in Tokyo. The town is also the jumping-off point for Sulitjelma and the Rago National Park.

The seasonal tourist office (75 50 35 15; Sjøgata; 9am-3pm mid-Jun–mid-Aug) shares its premises with the dominant building of Salten museum.
Sights include the marble-themed town square, and the park-like collection of historic buildings of the Fauske branch of Salten museum (Sjøgata; adult/child Nkr35/free; 11am-5pm mid-Jun–mid-Aug), whose grounds are a lovely spot for a picnic.
