오다‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A scenically impressive tour. The Troll's Tongue is the crowning glory. Good weather is a must, otherwise you'll simply have no visibility. Hiking boots are recommended, and an early start is recommended; otherwise, the trail will be a nightmare. Have fun ❣️

Currently (September 2024) the path around the lake to the so-called beach (please do not swim, it is a drinking water reservoir) is closed, so you only have to walk about 5km there and back from the parking lot.

A beautiful area for hiking. The first part is stroller-friendly, but sturdy, waterproof footwear is recommended for the path around the lake to the beach on the other side. The river in the first part of the trail, with its rocks, tempts climbing, but climbing is strongly discouraged. On the day we hiked there, the path was closed because a boy had fallen into the water and sadly died. You can also swim in the lake if you want, if the cold water doesn't put you off. I've been there three times now, and unfortunately, the glacier is receding.

Impressive view of the glacier, which unfortunately is melting inexorably.

The Trolltunga is a unique rock formation that promises you breathtaking photos. But be careful, there is a depth of around 700 meters around you.

The dam was built between 1909 and 1918 for the Tyssedal hydroelectric power station. When completed in 1918, it was one of the largest gravity dams in Europe (222 mil. m³). Ringedalsvatnet now serves as a reservoir for the Oksla hydroelectric power station in Sørfjorden. The lake has a capacity of 426 mil. m³ and the power plant produces approx. 900 GWh per year.

The panorama over the beautiful lake is overwhelming. Unfortunately, the glacier tongue is retreating higher and higher and will soon no longer be visible from here.

Beautiful route! 👍
