    Cannon position from World War II, from here the Germans tried to protect the war-essential production of heavy water in the Vemork power station. You also have a wonderful panoramic view of the Hardangervidda and the Gaustatoppen.

      The tour starts at Northern Europe's first cable car, «Krossobanen», which takes you up to the foot of Hardangervidda.
      From here you follow a gravel path before walking the 1.1 km long natural stone path to the gun emplacement. There you will find remains of the German WWII canon emplacement, as well as a great view of Gaustatoppen mountain, the former Vemork hydroelectric power station and the Hardangervidda.

        The cannon stillings are very interesting and the hike is worth it
