Visited Plura from 27th of December until 4th of January. Had a lovely stay, with great courses (cavern and Intro to Cave). The training made you very comfortable with diving the cave following the courses, and the cave itself is out of this world. To those of you concerned that you need X-thousand dives before entering the cave, I had just above 100 dives, and really enjoyed the courses:) On top of magnificent diving, Ina and Jani are very friendly, there was never any problems to borrow equipment etc. To top it all, we had the most lovely new years Dinner, sauna and Bath????????

Gronligrotta is one of the largest and most visited caves in the Nordic region. This is also the only Nordic cave with electric lighting. A guided tour takes visitors several hundred metres into the mountain and takes around 45 minutes. A café also providing accommodation and camping is located at Gronligrotta. The cave café offers a fantastic view of the Svartisen area as well as great hiking options nearby. Gronligrotta is situated 22 km north of Mo i Rana and 10 km from Rossvoll / E6.

I like the feeling of going in to the mountain, and this time in Gronligrotta. I had a guided tour for about 45 minutes. It is easy walking and it is so worth the money. I will go back- next time I prefer without a guide so I can stay there for longer.
6. Cavepaintings
Cave paintings - in the Skaren-Monsen caves 6 km south of Bronnoysund. The paintings consist of 5 animal figures painted in red colouring (hematite) on the east wall at the end of the 120 metre long cave. The paintings are 4-5000 years old. During the spring melt there are often avalanches in this area, and people are warned against climbing to the cave at this time. The steep climb up to the cave opening takes about 20 minutes. Guides can be arranged.
