Tourist sites:

"Norway is Europe's great parkland: a dramatic mix of mountains, seas, forestsand fjords. While the country has tidy cities, historic buildings and distinctiveartists, nature is clearly its prime attraction. We think it's one of the loveliest countries in the world, summer or winter, and the prime travel destination in Scandinavia." (National Geograpic, see link below)

The TriCamp is located in the centre of Eidfjord just beside the hall for check-in and pre-race.

The kitchen is open from 7 am to 11 pm and based on self-service, so everybody has to clean up after themselves.
