Helleren i Jøssingfjord er et unikt og særegent sted med to små hus som ligger beskyttet under en stor naturlig heller. Helleren har vært benyttet som ly av mennesker i tusenvis av år.
In a world of shades of grey, the two small houses are in this very special light: Jøssingfjord and Helleren are surrounded by all the shades of gray found on the scale. Helleren, or "Hedlaren", forms a natural roof and shelter that has been used by people for thousands of years. The slab is large - the drop measures 10 meters at its deepest. The two houses are protected by Helleren, and that is also the reason why these houses and this Helleren provide a unique and distinctive experience.
We welcome the public to Helleren. But proceed carefully! The houses are not sized to be able to handle today's pleasant but at the same time high visitor numbers. Remember that Helleren belongs to all of us, not just us living today, but also those who come after us. In their dramatic modesty, the houses under Helleren are one of our finest cultural monuments.
