Interesting places in Norway
1 Jotunheimen National Park.

Jotunheimen Park is located in Oppland and Sogn og Fjordane, between Oslo and Trondheim. It covers an area of 1156 km² and has over 200 peaks, many glaciers, lakes and rivers. Its greatest advantage is undoubtedly the fact that it is an area most of which is “untouched” by the human hand. It contains the largest mountains in Scandinavia, which is why it is called the House of Giants. Despite the high mountain ranges, the climate of the park is mild; summers are warm and cold and dry. Thanks to the terrain, the park offers many climbing options with breathtaking views. In the village of Lom, there is a tourist information centre and a mountain museum where we can get information about the 800 kilometres of marked hiking trails and hiking shelters. The trails are marked with mounds of stones or with the letter “T” painted on the stones and with signposts, so having a map is not necessary. It is best to follow the trails with your own equipment and a tent — you can hike from hut to hut, but you have to reckon with the cost of about 150 crowns per night. You will also need good trekking shoes, rainwear, trekking poles, sunglasses and sunscreen. There is a great variety of vegetation in the park, including glacier buttercup, rockfoil, small oak with eight petals, and alpine goosefoot. As far as fauna is concerned, there are reindeer of course, but also hares, foxes, weasels, mice, lemmings and many birds of prey. The park is relatively easy to get to — there are many local bus connections to places in the mountains. By car we can reach Bygdin or Gjendesheim by road no. 51, from the south by road E16, then by road 252 to Tinholmen and Eidsbugarden on the western shore of Bygdin Lake or from the north-west by road no. 55, leading between Gaupne and Lom in the company of mountains covered with glaciers and snow.

2 .Galdhøppigen

Galdhøpiggen is Norway’s highest glacier-covered peak at 2469m. The ascent takes about 4 hours and the descent 3, but getting to the top is relatively easy. Be aware that there is snow on the higher parts of the mountain — it is advisable to wear longer trousers to prevent snow from getting into your shoes. At the top of Galdhøpiggen there is a small shelter with a small shop.
