Eikerapen Gjestegard

Sosteli

Sosteli is one of Europe's best-preserved farms from the Iron Age (approx. 200-550 AD). Here you can see traces of the more than 1,500-year-old buildings where, in addition to animal husbandry, iron was mined and fish and game were caught in the surrounding forests and lakes.

Eikerapen Alpine Centre

The Eikerapen Alpinsenter offers a total of 2 km of prepared slopes divided into 7 different runs of medium difficulty. There is also a 200-metre-long children's slope. Ski equipment can be hired on site and ski lessons are available. There is also a small restaurant serving food, snacks and drinks.

Mineral Park

In the Mineral Park you will find a spectacular stone collection. In these caves glitter some of the world's most beautiful stones, from which the entire adventure park is based. All children receive a treasure map on arrival, which they can use to go on a treasure hunt in the tunnel. The park area outside is also a lovely place to spend time with flowers, trees and stone sculptures.

Trollaktiv

Tim Davis started Troll Mountain in 1993 after 14 years in the British military. The military career was based on sport and outdoor activities, based both in the southern German Alps and in Norway. In its early days the company focused on ski touring and winter activities, but in the summer of 1994 it invested in a raft and 8 canoes.

Their rich range of activities includes rafting, family rafting, SUP, pro-rafting, riverboarding, rock climbing/rappelling, 10 metre high climbing wall, climbing park, kayaking on the river, beaver and moose safari, battlefield live, axe throwing, bow and arrow, canoeing, mountain biking and a fishing school. They are open every day from mid-April to the end of October.

Elk tuna at Landeskogen

Go on one of the many cheap car holidays to Norway and have a summer holiday with nature experiences. Elgtun at Landeskogen is an exciting place to visit and an educational experience.
