Great nature experiences await you

Åkrafjordtunet in Odda, Agatunet in Jondal and Rosendal serve as fantastic gateways for trips to the Folgefonna National Park. They provide information about the national park and fun activities in the area.

For example you can walk the "tourist route" across the Folgefonna glacier from Sundal to Fonnabu and take part in a guided glacier walk across the glacier, visit Fonna Glacier Ski Resort (summer ski centre) in Jondal, walk thourgh the Buerdalen or Bondhusdalen valleys, walk on the restored Buførevegen road that goes from Reisæter across the mountain just north of Nordfonna and down to Botsvatn lake above Øvre Krossdalen in Jondal. In the Åkrafjord, you can join walks along the fjord or see the geology exhibition at Rullestad. In Rosendal, a visit to th Stone Park is recommended..
