Top Things to do in Finnmark
What to do and see in Finnmark, Northern Norway: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas
Lying at the very top of Europe, Finnmark is the northernmost part of Norway that reaches around Sweden and meets Finland. This is the heart of Norwegian Lapland, where Karasjok is the cultural and political seat of Sami life. Though Norway's biggest county by size, Finnmark has the fewest people. Alta, the biggest city with just 17,000, is called the Town of Northern Lights for its great views of the phenomenon. Alta Museum is largely devoted to local rock carvings from thousands of years ago.

5. Trollholmsund

Reviewed By KEGillesen - Vinterbro, Norway
This place is something really special! Located 7-8 km from the Roald between Lakselv and Indre Billefjord. You can drive to a parking 5 km from the main road, but the last 20-30 minutes you have to walk. It is a narrow path that is not very crowded, so there is plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Trollholmsund is at the edge of the ocean, where "trolls" made of dolomite rocks made 700 million years ago now reign over this coastal strip! This area is now connected to an adventure from ancient times. Here you can Aldo find the rare Rhododendron "Lapprose".
