Dovre National Park (Norwegian: Dovre nasjonalpark) is a national park in Innlandet county, Norway. The park was established in 2003. The park covers an area of 289 square kilometres (112 sq mi) and the altitude varies from the tree line at about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) up to its highest point at Fokstuhøe at 1,716 metres (5,630 ft). The area consists of plateaus and weathered, rounded mountain peaks.[1][2]
The park lies between the two larger and older parks Rondane National Park to the southeast and Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park to the north. Its opening was part of the larger expansion of parks in the area and its purpose was to protect the area between the two parks. Like Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella and Rondane, Dovre national park hosts wild Fennoscandian reindeer of Beringia origin. Part of the reason for the existence of these three adjacent parks is to provide a large contiguous habitat area for the native wild reindeer population.[1][3]
