2 Best Sights in Otta, Central Norway

The country's first official national park, Rondane remains an essential destination for outdoors enthusiasts for its 10 summits towering more than 2,000 meters (6,561 feet) in the north and open moors and rolling hills in the southeast. Rondeslottet and Storronden are two of the most popular peaks in the sprawling park covering much of two counties, but there are countless trails suitable for every level of experience and fitness. Brudesløret, a waterfall known in English as the Bridal Veil, is a particularly beautiful trail running 4 km (2½ miles) from the park's Mysusæter Entrance. Also starting here is an easy trail to a viewpoint atop Ranglarhøe, a peak that rises 1,130 meters (3,707 feet).

A natural phenomenon of earth and stone, these pillars called Kvitskriuprestein---the White Priests---stand guard in the Uladalen Valley not far from Otta. The only examples of this geological wonder in northern Europe, the highest pillars reach nearly 20 feet and are more than 200 years old.
