Trondheimsfjorden in the context of "Sør-Trøndelag"

Steinkjer (Norwegian), /ˈstæi̯nçæːɾ/ or Stïentje (Southern Sami), /ˈstɨe̯ntʃe/ is the administrative centre of Steinkjer Municipality and Trøndelag county in Norway. The town is located at the northeastern end of the inner-most part of the Trondheimsfjorden, at the mouth of the river Steinkjerelva. In the eastern part of the town, the river of Figgja also flows into the fjord. The town is split in two by the river Steinkjerelva, creating the two traditional neighborhoods of Nordsia and Sørsia. Both the European route E6 highway and the Nordlandsbanen railway line run through the town, the latter serving the city at Steinkjer Station. Steinkjer Church and Egge Church are both located in the town.

Prior to 1 January 2018, the town was also the administrative centre of Nord-Trøndelag county, and since that day it has been the seat of the newly created Trøndelag county. This means the Trøndelag County Municipality is based here as is the County Governor, the representative of the King and Government of Norway in Trøndelag county.

Verrasundet is a fjord in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 22-kilometre (14 mi) long fjord branches off of the northern part of the vast Trondheimsfjorden in Indre Fosen Municipality, Steinkjer Municipality, and Inderøy Municipality. It extends from Beitstadfjorden to the village of Verrabotn. The fjord is a maximum of 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide, but at Trongsundet, the fjord is barely 200 metres (660 ft) wide.
