Introduction

Visitor Center Hardangervidda National Park – Skinnarbu welcomes you on a tour. This nature trail follows Oldemorstien, a 2.5 km long hiking trail in easy terrain. The trip takes about an hour. Along the way you will find benches and rest areas to enjoy the peace and quiet of this mountain birch forest. We recommend that you walk the path clockwise and turn left at the first crossing on the top of the hill. There are 10 information points, including the one at the first crossing. Here at Skinnarbu we are at almost 1000 meters above sea level. The natural area you are in now is a mountain birch forest in a subalpine zone. All the species that live here are linked together in a symbiotic network. Under optimal as well as in adverse conditions natural organisms interact; when one species disappears, it can affect many others. Along the way you will learn about animals and plants occurring here and how they relate to each other. You can find out more about this in the intranet library at the visitor center.
