During WW2, the Germans decided to lenghten the Nordlandsbanen from Lønsdal in Saltfjellet. Over a period of three years, the original plan was to first have the both the road and the railroad all the way to Narvik and then on to Kirkenes, but they only managed to build the railroad to Bodø. The Germans' wish to lengthen the road to Kirkenes was to be known as Blodvegen (the Bloodroad) by locals. This project involved prisoners of war, mostly from the former Jugoslavia and Soviet Union, in building this road under extremly harse conditions. The workers lived in prisonercamps where they did not receive enough food for the hard work with the road. This caused many of the workers to collapse and die. A famous sign of this road is the blood cross one of the prisoners drew on the mountainside with his recently killed friends blood. It has become a tradition to repaint this cross with red paint, so people who pass this will never forget what happened. It's still possible to walk this road, which stretches from Saltnes to Saksenvika. At Saltnes, you will find the Bloodroad museum. Saltdal was known for having some of the most horrifying prisoner camps in Norway during WW2. A grand total of 15-18 camps with 9500 Russian, Polish and Serbian prisoners was located in the valley.
