Things to do in Norway for a memorable trip
What's the story
Norway is a gorgeous country and what makes it so are the many unique things that one can enjoy.
While your tour guide may only take you to the most touristy, crowded places, there are a host of offbeat experiences and attractions that you should try for an unforgettable vacation.
If that sounds like a plan, check out our recommendations.
Sledding
Ride a sled at the world's longest toboggan run
While skiing is a good option, sledding is even more fun. Norway has the longest toboggan run which is eight kilometers long and offers surreal views of the neighboring mountains.
Rent a sled, a sled mat, or a butt sled board at a mountain shop at the destination and experience some thrill as you go down in speed from Mt. Hoven to Oppheim.
Haunted house tour
Go for a ghost tour at the most haunted place
Norway is home to a 700-year-old fortress called Akershus Fortress in Oslo where you can enjoy history and mystery in equal measure.
With high walls and dim corridors, this place has served as a prison for many years for the country's most-wanted criminals.
Locals believe that sounds of wall scratching and whispers along the hallways of this property can be heard.
Cave trip
Visit the largest cave in Northern Europe
One of the most untouched places in Norway is the Halvikhallen or Halvikhula, which is factually the largest cave in Northern Europe.
It is 100 meters above sea level and about 80 meters wide. The depth of this cave is approximately 300 meters.
Little known due to its remoteness, this is the perfect spot to experience some solitude and thrill.
Free stay
Stay in a rabbit hole, free of cost
How about we tell you that you can experience a unique side of Norway for free? Well, yes, Tubakuba is a rabbit-hole-like cabin where you can stay for a night for free.
It is made of timber scraps and is located inside a forest, offering a great experience to travelers.
The small property is minimally stocked and it's worth a brief stay.
