The Norwegian Red Deer Centre is a national centre of knowledge for developing deer as a resource. The Centre is organized as an idealistic foundation, and the accumulation and distribution of knowledge about wild and farmed deer are among the main tasks. The Norwegian Deer Centre is an important link between central Norwegian authorities, local management- and resource groups, landowners and the public in general. The Centre is located on Svanoy, a beautiful island also known as the “gem of Sunnfjord” in Flora municipality. At the centre you’ll find a group of deer specialists, a deer park and an information centre.

Why not take a walk following the nice hiking-trip to the top of the mountain Storafjellet, where there is built a nice cottage to enjoy the lovely view over Bjerkreim, Dalane and all the way to the sea. The cottage is open for everyone to use. It is not facilitated for accommodation, but it is possible to sleep in hammocks outside the cottage. The top is at 485 meters above sea level.
Fast hike that took about 30-40min to get up. The view was perfect, nice cabin on the top of mountain , weather was good:)

Veraland is signposted from Holeveien up to the car park. The landscape is very open wich calls for warm clothes on windy days. There are small lakes for fishing and good opportunities for berry picking. Take Route 13, turn off on Route 316 towards Lauvvik. Round trips marked with signs Easy access from the parking lot at Veraland on Route 316.
