Rondane – the first National Park

In 1962 Rondane was the first national park to be established in Norway. As a result, the mountain roads grew in importance not only for the summer mountain farms, agriculture, and transport. They also opened up for a beautiful natural experience for tourists like you and me.

If you are continuing south on (boring) E6, at leasts make sure to stop at Ringebu Stave Church, Fåvang Church or Maihaugen at Lillehammer.
