Magalaupet Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Don’t miss the Magalaupet Rapids. From this lay-by head to the footbridge over the gorge, where the Driva squeezes into a narrow channel and thunders through spectacular rock formations.

From the narrow bridge, you have a beautiful view of the River Driva flowing beneath you over a rapid. As the bridge is single-lane and the rushing water is quite noisy, you should keep an eye out for oncoming traffic.

Dam of the Old Oppdal Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

Here you'll find the dam of the old Oppdal hydroelectric power plant. It used to generate 50 kilowatts of electricity for the region. A few meters further on, the old turbine house still stands.

Barbara
June 13, 2024, 🇳🇴 Magalaupe Schlucht

As always when we are in Norway, we stop at the Magalaupe campsite. We spent our first holiday in Norway here and we have now become friends with Ingmar and his daughter Anja. In the afternoon the sky clears and we find a new tour on Komoot that we have never done here before. We start from the campsite and then have to walk a little way along the E6 until the Kongevegen takes us down to the Driva and the gorge. Here a beautiful path runs along the water and through the forest. On the way we stop by the sheep that have made themselves comfortable. The Driva carries a lot of water and it just rushes down. At the designated parking lot we cross the river and turn into Gottesvegen. Shortly afterwards a beautiful path leads through the forest and above the Driva along to the Gammelbro (Old Bridge). We are then actually caught in a shower, but it quickly passes. As a reward, we later have our beloved Kanelknuten and Schokosnöckler.

Parking 🅿️ costs 35 NOK and you should have a piece of paper and a pen with you. Write down the license plate number and put it in a mailbox along with the money.
