Decorah and the Driftless Area
Glaciers-free valleys, wooded cliffs and Norwegian heritage.
To understand what Decorah and Driftless Area are, you need to look at Dunnings Spring Park, Vesterheim Museum and Ice Cave Hill Park. These places give us a view of a territory marked by riverscapes, forests, heritage and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Nature and scenery
Dunnings Spring Park
In Dunnings Spring Park, a short path leads to a clear waterfall that emerges from a wooded relief typical of the Driftless Area. The site is suitable for a cool stop near the Decorah, with soft rocks, walkways and water noise rather than a long hike.
Culture and heritage
Vesterheim Museum
The Vesterheim Museum tells Norwegian immigration to the United States through displaced homes, painted furniture, costumes, tools, boats and popular arts. In Decorah, where the Scandinavian heritage remains very visible, the museum gives material to family stories, know-how and links between the Iowa Valley and villages in Norway.
Nature and panorama
Ice Cave Hill Park
Ice Cave Hill Park is known for its cold cavities nestled in limestone cliffs of Decorah, where the air sometimes remains icy long after the winter. The trails climb in the woods and offer a more wilder approach to the city, between rocks, roots and reliefs dug by water.
Place indismissible
Effigy Mounds
Effigy Mounds protects native ceremonial terres, some of which draw animal forms, over the forested valleys of Mississippi. The visit requires slowness and respect: the trails connect views, forests and funeral sites, with a much older cultural presence than the nearby cities.
