Road Trip from Gaustatoppen to Odda, Norway, 4k

Exciting and bright road trip and adventure. We drove from the mighty and still very snowy peak of Gaustatoppen despite June, through the high-altitude plateau of Hardangervidda to the full-flowing and rumbling waterfalls Låtefossen and Vøringsfossen. We drove along the Fv13 tourist road along the picturesque Sørfjorden fjord, on the banks of which there is a cozy town of Odda with gingerbread houses right on the mountain slopes.

The weather was constantly changing, the sun came out and then disappeared, and sometimes it even began to rain. The air temperature also changed, we either froze in winter jackets or remained in T-shirts! The drops were from -3 at the top of Gaustatoppen to +25 degrees on the banks of the Sørfjorden.

In general, the beginning of June in Norway is that amazing time of the year when you can travel from summer to winter and back in one day. And it was with such an adventure that we decided to start our journey!

Gradually climbing the serpentine uphill from the city of Rjukan, the greenery of the valley was replaced by an uncertain beginning of spring and yellow colors.
But our goal was to get to the snow on top of Gaustatoppen, the highest mountain in the Vestfold and Telemark regions! And we decided to do it as unusually as possible on a train inside the mount - Gaustabanen, which used to be a secret military facility, and now lifts tourists up the mountain!
By the way, Gaustabanen is a unique attraction. There are no analogs of this railway in Northern Europe!
There are wonderful views from the top, and it felt like we had almost touched the sky.

Then we went to the town of Geilo, where we stopped at a campsite and spent the night!
The next day we unfastened and left the caravan to rest. After all, our path lay along the tourist road Fv13, and once we were already driving along with it, in some places it is very narrow and more comfortable, and most importantly, it is faster to pass it by car, especially in the tourist season! What we did!

The first target was the Låtefossen Twin Falls. And when the snow is still melting on the tops of the mountains, the waterfall appears before enthusiastic glances in all its beauty and strength! It is amazing that it breaks down from the mountain and rumbles right next to the highway and washes passing cars with its waters! It's unforgettable!

We also stopped for a walk in the cute town of Odda, and then slowly, admiring and enjoying every turn, the color of the water and the sheer mountains, we drove along the Sørfjorden fjord. We were surprised and delighted by the neat orchards along its banks. They looked especially unusual against the backdrop of snowy peaks.
Further, our path lay to the Vøringsfossen waterfall. This is the highest waterfall in Norway. Its total height is 182 m, and the height of the free fall of water is 145 m. In 2020, a very unusual pedestrian bridge was built here right over the abyss between two sheer cliffs, the height difference of which is 16 meters. So we checked ourselves and walked across this bridge! We recommend it to everyone! It's really beautiful there!
