A seemingly ordinary village hides dozens of mysterious places waiting to be discovered - hidden waterfalls, rock regiments, viewpoints, and trails.
As the residents say (those with long experience), this neighborhood will never get bored.
The route from Norddal to a fantastic UNESCO-listed farm is a treasure that cannot be missed by being so close. The road runs along the waterside, and at the end of the path grassy meadows spread out over the wide valley floor. At the end of these meadows lies the unique Herdalssetra, which forms an intimate group of 30 old farmhouses. There are also a number of ruins from old farms and farmhouses.
Well preserved farm cabins remind the old times.
This is one of the largest community alpine farm centres for goat farming in Norway, and there is an unbroken tradition of alpine farming here stretching back in time more than 300 years. Here you can try goats cheese and goats milk caramel, made in the traditional manner. Wandering amongst the old buildings and breathing the fresh mountain air and the scent of grazing farm animals gives you peace of mind difficult to find elsewhere.
The spectacular setting of the farm.
Behind the farm soars mount Heregga (1557 m.a.s.l.), and the landscape invites you to mountain hikes and fishing expeditions. You can stay in the farmhouse, buy a fishing license and hire a boat. The farm also has its own, simple farmhouse café, where you can try traditional Norwegian sour cream porridge with cured meats during the summer season.
