In the middle of the city center lies Ormetjønn, a pleasant hiking area for the whole family with a circular trail and child-friendly beach. The forest road that skirts the lake is about 3 km long, with signposted detours that, among other things, take you to the sites of old homesteads – and the Trolldom stone. Do you dare to pass by?
The trail can also be nice on a bike, if you like a bit of terrain. In winter, the cross-country skiing trail starts here.
Did you know that Ormetjønn is a pond with no access to a stream, and that the aurochs spawn on warm upwellings? Quite unique! It also provides bathing temperatures that most people can enjoy.
