Overview
Telemark is a traditional region, a former county and a current electoral district in Norway. In 2020, Telemark merged with the former county of Vestfold to form the county of Vestfold og Telemark.
Description
Telemark borders the traditional regions and former counties of Vestfold, Buskerud, Hordaland, Rogaland and Aust-Agder.
The birthplace of skiing, Telemark is a vast region of southern Norway that’s skipped by many international visitors.
Having travelled to Norway extensively over the past years, it’s easy to forget that there are still massive areas of the country I need to visit. One of those is Telemark.
To get ready for my visit, I’ve scoured the web, read some books and spoken to several people to produce this guide to the region. Once I’ve visited, I’ll update this post with more info, photos and videos.
