Join a local guide from Urdi gard for a hike to beautiful Skore:

This old farm in the steep hills between Åraksbø and Ose offer a lot of local cultural history. Skore is one of the oldest farms in the area, and has been vacated since the 1970s.

We meet at the pier in Åraksbø and drive to the road that will bring us to Skore.

We hike up the gravel road to the first plateau. If we are lucky, we will meet some curious cows here, or they will be around further up, grazing. The hike continues upwards to the settlement, which is on the top of a hill. The view up here offer a scenery of blossoming flowers on meadows sloping down towards Åraksfjorden, with Reiårsfossen in the background. This trip is great for all ages, and nice for families. There will be a treasure hunt for the kids along the way, and the guides will tell you some stories/ fairytales  from Setesdal.

Well arrived at the settlement, your guide will make you some food that is based on raw goods from local farmers. We always try to keep the food ecological. The food on this trip is :

«Lefse» (bread rolls made of potato flour and water) with meat from reindeer or moose, and vegetables from local producers. There is one drink included in the price, but you can buy more as we eat.

We will relax on the stone steps outside the old house, and enjoy the view and silence as we eat. The guide will tell you the story of the farm whilst you can have a timeout from the everyday life. When the meal is over, we will walk further upwards to two lookout points which provides a wider view of the fjord and the landscape surrounding it, a nice place for photographs.

We return to Åraksbø after this.

The aim of this hike is to achieve some peace of mind: To provide a timeout from the stress and noise of everyday life, and give you pause to enjoy the beautiful Norwegian countryside.
