RJUKAN

The mountain will set your Instagram on fire from below too.

Lonely Planet calls it «Norway’s most beautiful», we think you can see why.

And yet, its best secret is hidden deep inside.

For a real-life action story, head no further than Vemork, where a museum tells the story of one of the most daring sabotage missions during the Second World War.

A guided tour on The Saboteur’s trail brings the heroic tale even closer, albeit sweatier.

There’s no coincidence Lonely Planet describes Rjukan as “Southern Norway’s activity centre par excellence”.

True daredevils can challenge gravity in Norway’s toughest bungee jump.

Or ice climb up one of the 192 waterfalls that freeze in winter.

The town itself lies in a valley so deep and steep, they have placed giant sun mirrors above the cliffs.

Controlled by computer, they reflect sunlight to the market square in winter.

…as well as hiking in a varied landscape of flat plains, steep mountainsides, and spectacular views.

Or you can sail deep into the mountains on the tourist boat “Fjellvåken”.

Or imagine yourself taking a cold dip from this floating sauna.

It’s actually really g-g-g-g-good ...
