National park
Hardangervidda National Park is Norway's largest national park, measuring 3,422 square kilometres (1,321 sq mi). It is located in Buskerud, Vestland, and Telemark counties. The park spans from the Uvdalen valley in Numedal in the east and the Røvilseggi mountain ridge in Ullensvang Municipality in the west across the Hardanger mountain plateau (Hardangervidda). Designated as a national park in 1981, today it serves as a popular tourist destination for activities such as hiking, climbing, fishing, and cross-country skiing. The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association (DNT) maintains a comprehensive network of huts and paths across Hardangervidda. The Bergen Line railway and the main Norwegian National Road 7 cross the plateau.
