Discover Fiskarstranda

The two named trails in Fiskarstranda differ in length, terrain and the natural features along the way. These differences can help you plan outings during your trip when looking for hotels for a stay in Fiskarstranda.

Trails and nature around Fiskarstranda

The “Gjølevatnet fra Fiskarstranda” route is 2.7 kilometres long, well signposted and marked. It passes several fishing lakes and goes through areas where mushrooms and berries grow. At times, the lakes are home to abundant birdlife. Benches and fire pits are located along the route. Most of it runs through a nature reserve or conservation area. The route is suitable for mountain bikes.

The “Fiskarstrandhyttene” trail has a different character: most of it runs over rocky ground and tree roots. Parking is available for this trail at Rørstadmarka School in Fiskarstrand, where there are good parking facilities. The two trails therefore have different features to note: the route to Gjølevatnet is described in terms of its length, markings and several natural features, while Fiskarstrandhyttene is characterised mainly by its terrain and the parking at the school.

The ship is Scandinavia’s oldest surviving wooden steamship and was built in 1910–1911. Also on Sula, Devoldbanen is considered Norway’s largest model railway. It is open every Saturday from 12:00 to 16:00; check the opening hours before your trip, as they may change.

The trails on Sula also vary by season and surface. The trail to Vardane, the highest point on the island of Sula, is accessible year-round. In winter, groomed ski tracks lead to the mountain huts Taustua and Rollonhytta. At Mausavatnet, one side has a paved walking and cycling path, while the other has a gravel path—a clear difference in trail surfaces.

Kjellingset on Sula adds a cultural and historical dimension to this selection: the site is part of a larger cultural landscape with traces of settlement dating from the Migration Period to around 1780. The circular walk at Kjellingset is relatively short and easy, and follows a well-maintained path as well as a gravel path. Sula therefore offers both a historic landscape and a variety of trail types.
