    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is a copy of a traditional Norwegian old "husmannsplass". The buildings are old, but modern inside. Feedback from visitors are "wow", "this is a beautiful place", a "little Eden", "listen to the sound of silence....." and that people get happy feet here!
    Still situated in the forrest, we have a magnificent view. We can look over to Valdres, Hallingdal og Nore and Uvdal. It you turn around you can see to Hønefoss and Sundvolden. And, the old building, this "tun" is a snapshot of "inland old norway".

    Tourist places as Blaafargeverket, Hadeland glassverk, the Bearpark in Flå and galleries places can be visited.
    I cook traditional Norwegian plates as well as "usual" international dinners, and my named is Kristin.
