Norwegian Mountain Touring Association

The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association (In Norwegian, Den Norske Turistforening – DNT) is a Norwegian association which maintains mountain trails and cabins in Norway. The association was founded on January 21, 1868 with the scope "to help and develop tourism in this country".

The mountains of Norway have always been utilised by the Norwegian people since the first Norwegians followed the reindeer when the ice cap retracted ten thousand years ago.

DNT's first hut was Krokan by the Rjukan waterfall. The waterfall was later harnessed for hydropower production and the hut was sold. Today it is re-opened, situated by the main road from Rjukan (Tinn) to Vinje.
