5. Enjoy mountain scenery on Telemark’s biggest lake - Møsvatn
At the foot of Hardangervidda lies Møsvatn, the largest lake in Telemark and the twelfth largest in Norway. Enjoy the unique experience of standing on the deck of the catamaran Fjellvåken II, from which you can see breath-taking nature and some of Norway’s highest settlements of mountain farms. The population along Møsvatn is only connected to the rest of society by the boat, which means they are isolated during winter when the lake is frozen.

9. 84 meter free fall into history - Bungee jumping from Vemorksbrua
Norway’s highest permanent bungee jump is located on a bridge in historic Rjukan. Today the gorge that the heavywater-sabatours climbed down and up to get to the Vemork powerstation includes a short-cut. To jump 84 meters straight down the Vemorkgorge in Rjukan has been described by experienced jumpers as a special and unbelievable experience, since it is like jumping down a funnel. A funnel of history.
10. Kjegling in Henrik Ibsen’s childhood home - Henrik Ibsen Museum
