Swimming spot at Bjørheimsvatnet

Highlight • Beach

A lovely little swimming spot in Bjørheimsvatnet Lake. There's also a small parking bay for drivers, but only for a few vehicles.

There's also a picnic area.

Wooden Fist Sculpture

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any clues about what the fist is all about. Does anyone know the answer?

Kjæleviksteinen and Picnic Area

Highlight • Monument

This is a copy of the Kjølevik Stone, which
was created by Käre Tveit and unveiled
in 1982. The runestone dates from the Migration Period (# 400-500 AD).

Tip by

In good weather, definitely worth a quick detour. From the small parking lot a short gravel path leads directly to the fjord bank with the stone engravings. The best way to see this from the information board.

Very nice campsite by the lake. Owned by very friendly American couple. The cabins are very spacious and comfortable. The lake is great for photographing.

June 21, 2024,🚌Nordwärts 8. Jørpeland🏕 Tour 21.06.2024

Yes, with the days off, it's always one of those things that usually doesn't work out 😅. On our trip to Jørpeland we passed through beautiful mountain landscapes and just wanted to relax a little at the campsite. A quick swim, very quick..., woke us up so much that we grabbed our bikes and went for a ride.
