Hjerkinn
Dovrefjell defines the setting of Hjerkinn — a high, largely treeless mountain plateau where open heath and broad valleys give the settlement an exposed, spacious character. The E6, Norway’s principal north–south road, crosses this part of Innlandet between Dombås and Trondheim, while the Dovre Line railway also passes through Hjerkinn. The locality lies beside Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, a major protected mountain area known for wild reindeer and a population of musk oxen descended from animals reintroduced in the 20th century. Hjerkinn is both a transport point on the Dovre plateau and a practical base for exploring central Norway’s upland terrain.

Among the regions of Norway, Innlandet stands out for its broad inland sweep of lakes, forests and mountain valleys. Lake Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake, forms an important southern focal point, while the Gudbrandsdalen valley follows the Lågen north towards higher country. Lillehammer gives the area an international reference point: it hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics, and its Maihaugen open-air museum presents buildings and everyday traditions from across Norway. Farther north, Rondane National Park protects a high-mountain landscape associated with wild reindeer. This is a region of farms, timber country and transport routes linking Oslo with central Norway.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
