The small town of Vinstra is based in the heart of southern Norway. Surrounded by typical Norwegian landscapes, car hire in Vinstra is ideal so you get to see these seemingly endless scenic drives around the area. There are several parks in the vicinity which are a must for any outdoor activity fans. Jostedalsbreen National Park is great to experience the glaciers typical to Norway, Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park is home to a beautiful waterfall and a vast stretch of land with hiking trails, while Jotunheimen National Park is acknowledged nationally for being a number one spot for hiking and fishing, with beautiful views over the Øvre Leirungen and Gjende lakes.
The area of Vinstra is most known for Peer Gynt. The play is performed across the country, but it is in Vinstra that the annual Peer Gynt Festival takes place, dating back to the late 1960s. The Hågå farm hosts the event, which includes an open-air performance of the play. Although entirely in Norwegian, the backdrop of the setting and the performance of those involved is enough to have you enthralled, whether fluent in the language or not. Hiring a car in Vinstra will also give you the chance to get out of the small town. Norway's vast landscapes mean that the bigger towns are sporadic through the country, but the landscape alone will keep you entertained should you rent a car in Vinstra.
