Gutulia National Park
Gutulia National Park (Norwegian: Gutulia nasjonalpark) is the smallest national park in Norway. The landscape consists of lakes and virginal forests, dominated by spruce, pine and birch. Because of the climate, growth is slow, and many of the spruce trees are hundreds of years old. There is only one marked path through the park.
