Like most of the natural gems in Norway, you’ll have to embark on a bit of a hike to get to your destination. I experience that a lot of the tourists who visit Norway expect the sights to be right next to the road, which is in fact not the case for most of the famous sights. Even though there are a lot of beautiful roads with beautiful landscapes right outside the car window, if you really want to experience Norway, the only way to do it is to put on your best boots and go for a hike.
Brufjellhålene is a set of caves shaped in the last part of the Ice Age. Since then the land has raised about 20 meters and is today one of the most visible proofs we have of climate change, the Ice Age and the change in sea level and land level.
The hike to Brufjell and Brufjellhålene starts from a small, quiet and picturesque town called Roligheten. The hike is about 5,4 km each way and will take you about 3 hours. However, I would recommend planning plenty of time as some parts of the trip will be really steep and you’ll want to enjoy the view once down at the platform by the sea where you’ll find the caves.
The last part of the hike, down to Brufjellhålene is especially steep and you’ll have to do a bit of a climb. However, there are some metal bars and a wire to help get you up and down this last part.
