Sirdal and Setesdalsheiane may not be as well known as Hardangervidda or other national parks in Norway, but this area offers just as beautiful scenery and beautiful untouched nature.
I crossed these landscapes in July 2018, which was extremely dry throughout southern Norway. Even in the Fjell many wetlands were dry and streams dried out. The water levels of the lakes were deep and I could not drink the water everywhere as usual. There were almost no mosquitoes and in the lakes you could swim, where it is normally quit cold.
While it is mostly flat in Setesdalsheiane, the Sirdal region is more mountainous and has more steep slopes to deal with. I visited both regions in a big loop around the Rosskreppfjorden. A wonderful trip that I can highly recommend.
