Hustveit is a fascinating natural, cultural and recreational area. Both the surrounding cultural landscape and the farm buildings themselves, including the furnishings of the main building, appear both genuinely original and authentic, just as they were in the late 1800s. The wave of modernization that changed local farms never arrived at Hustveit. Neither artificial fertilizer nor motorized equipment was ever used on this farm. The fields surrounding the farmyard are now classified as landscape protection areas. A dedicated display of posters on this cultural landscape have been set up along the hiking trail.

The barn at Hustveit has been restored and is open year-round. Here there are exhibitions about the farm and about the people who once lived at Hustveit, about building traditions in the area, with emphasis on stave construction, and about the forest and the sawmill.

After taking a short walk along the old road to Kvedna Falls, you arrive at a pretty little site with a mill, grain kiln, saw etc. The farm’s mountain pasture farm can be reached on a few hours’ hike. It is open to the Public.

ARRIVING HERE
