Fjellro i Eggedal

After a 20-minute hike up the terrain, the landscape opens up, and you suddenly find yourself with a view that will take your breath away. Here, with a 180-degree panoramic view of Norefjell and peaks like Høgevarde, you will find a tranquility that is difficult to describe, but impossible to forget.
