Hardangervidda is the largest mountain plateau in Europe. This is where you will find Norway's largest national park. The scenery is varied with steep mountainsides and spectacular views. The countryside there is diverse, ranging from flat plains on the eastern side to steep mountains and fjords in the west. It is home to Europe's lagerst herd of wild reindeer and several other artctic plants and animals. There are many opportunities for fishing, and mountain trout from Hardangercidda are famous for their excellent quality.

Actually a mausoleum, this unusually-shaped building is decorated inside with an 800 square meter fresco which took Emanuel Vigeland 20 years to paint.

My second time here, I've been itching to get back! Happy to see they now have some more funding, and will be opening the second room later this year :) As I said in my first review, DO NOT LEAVE TOO SOON to get the effect of this mausoleum. The light changes hugely over time, and you need to give it at the very least 20 minutes to start to experience what it has to offer. I stayed over 2 hours this time, and it's worth the effort! Fabulous place - the acoustics, the imagery, the lighting, the friendly staff, it's definitely my favourite place in Oslo - which is saying something in such a great city.

We took the Ibsen from Ulefoss to Skien, and we immensely enjoyed ourselves. Our boat had a group of Norwegian pensioners enjoying themselves, which made me realize that this is what the locals do. The boat is beautiful as is the scenery. There are drinks and pastries for purchase on board, and the staff is friendly and informative. A visit to the Telemark region is a must for someone seeing Norway.

The most spectacular waterfall along the Akerselva river, located next to the small, red house called Honse-Lovisas hus and the Beier bridge at Grünerlokka.

There are stunning waterfalls along the Akerselva river in the Grünerløkka district near the Oslo city center. The river offers a pleasant place to walk. There are also many parks along the river.

A priest from the local communiy managed to get down into Helvete (Hell) and when he reached the edge on his way up again, with old, moldy bones in his hands, he said he can now claim being the only priest in the country who have been to Hell and gotten out in one piece!! Northern Europes largest potholes, one of the wildest thing you se and experience in the Norwegian nature!!

First: You need to coordinate hands and feet to walk the route through the potholes of "Helvete". The route is far from extreme, but involves some light climbing where you need to hold on tight to railing. The spectacle is what a river underneath the ice of the previous ice age has dug through the rock. This is a rather deep "canyon" with a series of potholes. The slick, curved walls are impressive to watch and provide a reverbing acoustic experience. It is a very nice example of the wonders of nature. The name is perhaps misplaced. There are no flames or evil here, but one can easily imagine the powers at work to form the potholes. We loved the experience.
