Falkeriset - the children's favourite!
The great trip up to Falkenuten (1096 m above sea level) is suitable for the whole family, is very popular - not least with its panoramic view of Hardangervidda and Gaustatoppen!
The path is paved by Sherpas from Nepal, is 1,5 kilometers long and is a clear favorite for families with children.
Visit Vierlithe top and the sculpture Vidsyn
You see it from the main road - enthroned up on Vierlithe top, the mysterious sculpture Vidsyn, which follows you with its eyes. Park by Vierli kafeteria, and follow the footpath under the bridge and further up - both the sculpture and the view at the top make it a truly wonderful experience.
