Mosvik
Mosvik was a Norwegian municipality in North Trøndelag . It covered an area of 219.4 km² on a peninsula which is enclosed by Nordviksund, Skarnsund (over which a 1010 m long bridge leads to the Inderøy peninsula ) and Verrasund within the Trondheimsfjord . Lake Meltingen is located on the peninsula. On January 1, 2011, Mosvik had 814 inhabitants. On January 1, 2012, the municipality was merged with Inderøy. The seat of the administration was in the locality of Mosvik. Other settlements were Trangsund, Hovd, Hindberg, Vika, Vestvik, Meltingen Lia, Hamstad, Venneshamn, Kvennavik, Vinje Bruk, Vinjesjøen, Kjerringvik, Duklett, Saltvikhamn, Sliper and Kalldalen.
It was a community whose main source of income was agriculture and forestry. Forestry was represented by the two green tips on the silver background. The dairy industry was the main production. Of the 80 annual working hours, 59 were spent on milk production. 2.2 million liters of milk were produced annually in 30 production units.
In Mosvik there are old rock carvings in the Venneshamn district. Several halibut are shown. In ancient times the commune belonged to the Frostathing .
In the former municipality the Mossa flows, a river which until the early 1980s was one of the best waters for small salmon in all of Norway. In 1984 a hydropower plant was put into operation, which cut off and diverted the entire main tributary of the Mossa. The salmon stock collapsed immediately, today only a marginal remainder is maintained through artificial measures. This is worth mentioning as the municipality has lost its only real tourist attraction.
