Jarlshola, Natural cave in Melhus Municipality, Norway.
The cave presents multiple chambers and passages formed within the rock formations along the western side of the Gaula river near central Melhus.
In 995 AD, Earl Håkon Sigurdsson and his slave Tormod Kark took refuge in this cave during their final night before reaching Rimul farm.
The cave location appears in the Heimskringla, a collection of Norse kings' sagas written by Snorri Sturluson during the 13th century.
Visitors need appropriate clothing and lighting equipment to navigate through the cave passages, as temperatures inside remain cool throughout the year.
The cave chambers contain geological formations that document the natural processes of water erosion through Norwegian rock over thousands of years.
