Mountains and fjords

Jørpeland is surrounded by beautiful nature! Here you can experience both mountains and fjords. Below you can find some links for nice trips and places that we recommend visiting. There is more to see than the Pulpit Rock!

7-nuts tour

The 7 nuts tour involves climbing on the peaks of the mountains around Jørpeland. It counts around 23 kilometres, and you must climb 1 400 meters to reach all the 7 hill tops. The mountains are not so demanding individually, but all together can be a good challenge. Click on the picture to get more information. 

Jørpelandsholmen

You can easily explore this lovely island, which is just a few minutes' walk from Villa Rosehagen. This small island is very popular among tourists and inhabitants, as a quite new attraction; since the bridge that connects the island with the town was built only few years ago. There is a great hiking road that goes around, and is suitable for both baby stroller and wheelchairs. Along the road there are many nice picnic and swimming areas. Also, you can see a bit of art there! Like 'Solspeilet'; the artwork, which is located very close on Klungsholmen, or several wooden sculptures made by a local artist. 

Besides all that, there is a great opportunity to play Frisbee on Jørpealndsholmen!

Highly recommended!
