Lahko National Park is an alpine karst in the heart of Norway. Everything here is subject to chemical dissolution processes: soft limestone rocks under the influence of water create caves, gorges, and valleys. The shapes are sometimes so bizarre that it seems like a huge stones floating in the air. Observant tourists will notice stone hearts and writhing snakes. Just be careful, even our hiking boots are a threat to soft rocks. Therefore, we should not leave the paved paths, as those who came after us may not find this beauty.

Glomfjellet is a limestone massif, unique even on a European scale, located above the forest border. A plastic landscape provides a visual representation of how natural processes shape unique geological forms. In the Korbela Canyon, for example, flowing water created labyrinths of grottoes and entire streets along its path, erected bridges and caves. This is one of the most popular places in Lahko.

By the way, Lahko in Sami means “high, vast space.” Since 2012, the national park has protected Norway’s largest area of alpine karst, which, together with the neighboring Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park and the Langvassdalen-Ruffedalen Nature Reserve, creates an impressive, continuous natural massif of 188 km² on the country’s map.

Lakho will give you a lot of impressions if you give free rein to your imagination – there is definitely enough space for this here.
