Rondane National Park — Attraction in Dovre

One of the most astonishing places we visited in Norway. The fjords are amazing and a lot of things in Norway are worth seeing, but if you only get the chance, come see Rondane! There are basically two trails that lead up to the foot of the mountains (so many to choose from) from the parking lot. We took the less traveled one on the left, which itself splits into multiple paths. It was gorgeous and already worth the trip, but it was also slightly tricky, since the path sometimes was difficult to follow. Whichever path you take, they all lead to a lake and hotel (Rondvassbu). From here it's a day trip (about 7 hours) to Rondslottet, the tallest peak in the area. However far you make it or not, it's worth the effort. Absolutely stunning! Go see it as...

Moreover, if you missed a spot (decide to see what is ahead), be prepared that there could be a long way before you reached another pitchable location. But you can also pitch in the huts (which we didn't know...

Best national park in Norway . With an area of 1,000 square kilometres, Rondane is Norway's first national park. It is an inspiration for many a creative mind, including Norwegian writers and artists.The history of life in the area of the park begins at the end of the latest ice age. Large climate changes allowed reindeer to spread widely across Scandinavia, only to be forced back to a much smaller area — including the Rondane mountain area — only some hundreds of years later. Archaeologists have found that the forest quickly grew at high altitudes; birch trees found at 1030 metres (3379 ft) were 8500 years old.
