Description
Folgefonna National Park is a magical place in the heart of Norway, home to the continent's third largest glacier. Stretching over 545 square kilometers, the park impresses with spectacular landscapes featuring glittering glacial rivers, dramatic mountain valleys and cascading waterfalls.
It's an adventurer's paradise - from glacier trekking to summer skiing to ice climbing. Nature lovers will appreciate the opportunity to observe reindeer, polar foxes and a variety of bird species, including the bald eagle.
The Langfoss waterfall - the fifth highest in Norway - is worth seeing, as well as the Rosendal Stone Park, showcasing the Earth's evolution through colorful rocks and geological samples.

Michael Looney2 months agoAbsolutely stunning national park. If you want to take the best pictures of the lake make sure to get there when the sun is at its highest so it's reflected off the water.
Ben Atha6 years agoWe loved the hike! It was a great experience. If you follow the signs for Buer going south of of Odda you will come to a parking lot. The hike starts through a farm and up into the woods. Eventually it will start to get a bit more rocky and mountainous. Follow the red Ts along the trail and you'll be fine. There are some small bridges and ropes you need to use because it gets very steep. It was snowy towards the top even in May. Once you get to the top you need a guide to hike the actual glacier.
Tom Boksebeld8 years agoIf you like to see beautiful nature this is the place to be. We have visit the glaciers very beautiful, take care of good footwear some parts of the trail are steep but overall good to do, even with children or an outdoor dog.Related categories
