Around Mo i Rana

Grønligrotta CAVE
( 75 13 25 86; www.gronligrotta.no ; adult/child Nkr130/90; tours hourly 10am-6pm mid-

Jun-mid-Aug)
The most accessible and most visited of the caves around Mo is 22km north of town.
There's electric lighting (it's the only illuminated tourist cave in Scandinavia). The
30-minute tour takes you along an underground river, through a rock maze, then past a
granite block torn off by a glacier and deposited in the cave by the brute force of moving
water.
