Experience the lunar landscape in the area

For hikers who like short walks, there are 10 marked hiking trails from 1 to 5 hours, here you can experience the "moon landscape". One of these trips is up to "Fladen", a short but steep trip up 434 steps that goes up a trolley line built in 1918. This trip gives you a fantastic view over the entire fjord. There is an information board about the tours at the viewing platform.

The houses under Helleren

Only a few minutes' walk down from the viewing platform are: The houses under the "Helleren" at the very heart of the fjord. The pit is 10 m deep and 60 m long. The houses are several hundred years old and stand on protected land. The archaeologists have found remains of people who lived here over 6,000 years ago. The houses are open to visitors and it is important that great care and respect for the place is shown.

Tunnelstuo is also a rest area for cyclists and you can cycle through it. If you come by car, there is a car park up by the viewing platform, where there are toilets and rubbish bins. From the car park, follow Fv 44 down to the tunnel approx. 300 meters.
