Description
Hallo .
We are a non profit friendship organisation were all of us work for room and board . So if you are interesed in historic places and old cuture you will love it here.
The road down is winterclosed . We try to open around 20.05
We are 45min.from closest shops and senter with cafeteria and trying to take care of our historic place o take care of an old 9 blad upgoing saw from year 1620 and old buildings. Main house from 1862 which contains a museum and 3 bedrooms for overnight guests to rent . We also have a mill from 1900.
Our place is located almost at the end of Sognefjorden (210 km long) outside of Årdalstangen. We can offer beautiful nature and tranquility for the mind at our remote location.
. In the old boathouse there are 3 bedrooms (2 double,1 family) and a nice caffeteria with mostly serving coffie and waffel l(unch or dinner by apointment) available for visitors to enjoy. In addition to welcoming our guests, we need help taking care of the property and guiding guests around.
You have to go through the worlds steepest tunnel to get here, 15-17 % at the steapest! The most beautiful nature is waiting for you and the drive down to the fjord is spectacular. It takes you about 40 min from Aardalstangen.
For your benefit and ours we like you to stay a mimimum of 3-4 weeks. Hopefully you will be interested in learning about us and this beautiful pearl by the fjord.
We all work for room and board, keeping a nice main house , and enjoy each others company.
It is a pluss if you speak/understand norwegian . Becouse of the covid 19 we will have mostly norwegian guests and to give good service in our beutyful spesial place you will have to tell/ now some of the long history . 👍🤗 .
