Some sample walks from  Fyresdal's Walking Guide

 
Our hospitality has a long tradition. Travellers have always been well received here and we enjoy offering our guests the best we have.
To us, the Fyresdal valley is the most beautiful part of the beautiful Telemark region and we would like to share this beauty with you.
The landscape here is extraordinarily varied and virtually untouched.   Animals roam the woods, fish jump in rivers and creeks, and flowers, berries and mushrooms abound all over the valley. Idyllic lakes make the scenery especially charming. Rugged mountains rise over thick forests, fields and gentle meadows. Sculpted rocks, crisp air and rich colours are the dominating characteristics of the Fyresdal landscape.
