Hjerkinn skytefelt, Military shooting range in Dovre, Norway
The shooting range extends across 165 square kilometers within Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, featuring varied terrain types for military training exercises.
The Norwegian Armed Forces established this shooting facility in 1923, which served as a strategic training ground until its closure in 2008.
The restoration project transformed this military site into a protected area, connecting it with the ancient pilgrimage route leading to Nidarosdomen Cathedral.
Visitors can access the former range through scheduled bus services, but personal vehicles are restricted to protect the returning wildlife populations.
The site underwent a 575-million NOK restoration project, requiring 15,000 soldiers to remove unexploded ordnance and restore the natural environment.
