Dovrefjell–Sunndalsfjella National Park Attractions in Rondane and| Top things to do in Dovrefjell
Dovrefjell–Sunndalsfjella National Park Attractions in Rondane and| Top things to do in Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park Dovrefjell is a mountain area in Central Norway that forms a natural barrier between East Norway and Middle Norway - det Nordenfjeldske (Norway north of the mountains, i.e. Dovrefjell). It was long believed to be Norway's highest mountains and remains as national symbol of sturdiness and durability. Most of the areas on the either side of road E6/Dovre railway line from Oppdal to Dombås is protected as a national parks.The area has been heavily trafficked during and probably preceding historical times. Due to often hash weather and road conditions, it has also been a barrier and a risk to the traveler. But nowadays, E6 and the Dovre railway is almost never closed due to extreme weather (less frequent than once a year).There are marked routes (summer) and (mostly unstaffed) cabins for hikers, but long trips, tough terrain and often hash weather makes this an area for the experienced hiker. But staying in the valleys aound the mountain, there are lot of nice and not-demanding day-trips with beautiful sceneries, an unique plant life, knowledge about local culture and a change to get a glimpse of parts of the animal life: May be a golden eagle soaring overhead, a muskox (keep your distance!) or if really lucky a reindeer in the distance.

The last remaining wild tundra reindeer in Europe are found in portions of southern Norway. In southern Norway in the mountain ranges, there are about 30,000–35,000 reindeer with 23 different populations. The largest herd with about 10,000 individuals, is at Hardangervidda. By 2013 the greatest challenges to management were loss of habitat and migration corridors to piecemeal infrastructure development and abandonment of reindeer habitat as a result of human activities and disturbance.
Norway is now preparing to apply for nomination as a World Heritage Site for areas with traces and traditions of reindeer hunting in Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, Reinheimen National Park and Rondane National Park in Central Sør-Norge (Southern Norway). There is in these parts of Norway an unbroken tradition of reindeer hunting from post-glacial Stone Age until today.[citation needed]

Hike to Atnasjø and Tinasæter
Footage from a hike I went on this summer in Rondane national park in central Norway. We went from our cabin along lake Musvolltjønn via Musvollseter shieling to lake Atna and then back through the woods to a former shieling called Tinasæter (now used just as a cabin), then back to the cabin along the side of the hill, out of the forest. Some fantastic views of the Rondane massif. The video also shows some of the natural diversity found in the area; a lot of different biotopes.
Kongsvold Fjeldstue
Kongsvold received the official status of mountain lodge in 1670. Major historically correct renovations have been carried out through good co-operation between The Directory of Cultural heritage and local craftsmen. The hotel is the proud possessor of the Olavs Rose, the hallmark of the foundation Norwegian Heritage.
The many fine buildings testify to prosperity at Kongsvold in the past, which is also reflected in the rich fittings and furnishings accumulated over the years and still to be found in the buildings.
Today, Kongsvold is a mountain lodge rooted in tradition with modern comforts and facilities. The hotel is open from February to November. There is also a cosy café on the premisses which is open during Easter and in the summer.

In military exercises, we often focus on the partnership between international military participants. But how does the exercise affect the cities and citizens surrounding the event? Let’s take a look at how this beautiful area of Norway handled an operation featuring tanks, troops, and military vehicles, using their communities as a battlefield.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), also known as the caribou in North America, is a species of deer with circumpolar distribution, native to Arctic, sub-Arctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America. This includes both sedentary and migratory populations. Rangifer herd size varies greatly in different geographic regions. The Taimyr herd of migrating Siberian tundra reindeer (R. t. sibiricus) in Russia is the largest wild reindeer herd in the world, varying between 400,000 and 1,000,000. What was once the second largest herd is the migratory boreal woodland caribou (R. t. caribou) George River herd in Canada, with former variations between 28,000 and 385,000. As of January 2018, there are fewer than 9,000 animals estimated to be left in the George River herd, as reported by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The New York Times reported in April 2018 of the disappearance of the only herd of southern mountain caribou in the lower 48 states, with an expert calling it functionally extinct after the herd's size dwindled to a mere three animals.Rangifer varies in size and colour from the smallest, the Svalbard reindeer, to the largest, the boreal woodland caribou. The North American range of caribou extends from Alaska through Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut into the boreal forest and south through the Canadian Rockies and the Columbia and Selkirk Mountains. The Barren-ground caribou, Porcupine caribou, and Peary caribou live in the tundra, while the shy boreal woodland caribou prefer the boreal forest. The Porcupine caribou and the barren-ground caribou form large herds and undertake lengthy seasonal migrations from birthing grounds to summer and winter feeding grounds in the tundra and taiga. The migrations of Porc ...
