Real nature experiences
Summer at Rauland
In Rauland you can hike, fish, cycle and ride horses. You can visit the peaks, or take a canoe trip. You can stay and eat well at one of the hotels, or in comfortable cabins with beautiful mountain scenery right outside the door. There are many options, and the road is also short to the other attractions in mountainous Telemark.
