Nature and parks of Norway
Norway’s largest national park is Hardangervidda, which occupies 3,400 square kilometers on the borders between the cities of Hordaland, Buskerud and Telemark. The territory is equipped with small forest trails, a railway and a motorway. For fans of popular science films and lectures, a natural center is open on the territory. The building has a section dedicated to drama and film shows including also interactive zones for a “full immersion” in the world of northern nature. The guests of the complex will see how the glaciers melted more than 20 million years ago and can observe the “everyday life” of the reindeer family. Enjoying nature has never been more comfortable for tourists before. On the territory of the national park, you will find many kinds of polar birds and wild animals strolling unhurriedly through the fruit gardens and past the mountain waterfalls with its crystal clear spring water.
