About Odda

Odda is a small town in Norway that serves as a base for adventurers heading to the famous Trolltunga, or Troll's Tongue, which juts out dramatically over the fjord. The surrounding landscape is dominated by mountains and glaciers, including Buarbreen Glacier and the Buer Glacier, making it a haven for hiking enthusiasts. Folgefonna National Park is nearby, offering more scenery and opportunities for outdoor activities. The town is also known for its series of impressive waterfalls, such as Låtefossen and Skrikjofossen, which provide a constant soundtrack to daily life. People come primarily for the hiking and to experience the natural beauty of the area, so get ready for some serious leg workouts if you want to see it all.

Who it's for

Outdoor lovers who enjoy hiking and scenery will find Odda appealing. A poor choice for anyone looking for a city atmosphere or extensive public transport options, as it is a small town with moderate transport and limited urban activities.

Getting around

Public transport: Moderate

  • Walking between the main sites takes about twenty minutes, so plan for some legwork
  • Public transport is available but infrequent, making a car a better choice for exploring the area
