Guided hike to Marmorslottet (The "Marble Castle")

We park at the old farm Fisktjønna. Here you can see traces of those who cultivated the land and built a life for themselves. On the hike through the nature reserve, it becomes more and more clear what the ground consists of. Limestone is a large part of the rock here, and when we arrive at the Marble Castle, a "castle" built by nature itself over millennia, you see the result of loose rock masses such as lime having been washed into the river over thousands of years.

Over the years, the water has formed several caves, potholes and formations in the rock - and turned the area into a fairytale landscape. The marble castle is made by the river Glomåga. Over many years, Glomåga has excavated potholes and other formations with many different shapes. If you are daring enough, you can sit on a "rock horse", a ledge that goes out over the river, and have the river fizzing right below you.
The best time to visit the Marble Castle is in autumn when the water level is not so high. At this time you can take the time to go down the potholes, walk through a pot and cross the river. You will also eventually come to a cave and will see incredibly beautiful rock formations. Here you walk between the stones on flat marble/stone surfaces with studs underneath that the river has excavated.
We can pick you up at the hotel, and either we drive you, or you follow in your own car.
We calculate approx. 4 hours on this trip, from the time we start at the hotel until we return.
Remember good shoes and a camera. Be careful, there is a lot of current in the river.
NOTE: The Marmorslottet is a lovely place, and a fantastic natural experience. Help keep it that way. Don't leave things and rubbish behind.
