Highlight • Mountain Hut

Unfortunately at the end of May still in winter. My wife and I wanted to go there and eat delicious waffles because of the hiking highlight.

Sandy Beach on Skaupsjøen Lake

The brave can take a dip in the lake and then let the Hardangervidda wind blow you dry on the white sandy beach. 😁

Bridge Over Skaupsjøen River

Highlight • Bridge

This is such a quaint bridge. It crosses a beautiful connecting stream that joins Storekrækkja and Drageidfjorden lakes. The views out over the plateau to the distant snow-speckled hills are super nice.

Sheep Mailbox in Skaupsjøen / Hardangerjøkulen Landscape Conservation Area

Highlight • Structure

It actually looks like an American mailbox and since there just happened to be some sheep around it, it must be hers, right?
