Glacial potholes are round caves in the mountain made by water, ice and stones i the last iceage. In the steep mountain walls at Rullestadjuvet you can see some of Northern Europes largest potholes several meters in diameter. Some holes are twins and others are single. The potholes have during the decades been filled with mud and water, but this make them no less impressive! The area are situated close to the old E134 in Rullestadjuvet, but the potholes can not be seen from the road. To visit the potholes you can follow the Postvegen track from Skromme and then turn left at the road-sign to Jettegrytnuten. The hike is not long, but quite difficult as the terrain is very steep. The hike requires good equipment, and must not be done in wet terrain! Ask for local advice at the Tourist Information ore at Rullestad Aktiv Fritid before you make this trip!

The large cave is located on the southern side of Bremsneshatten mountain. Many finds from the almost 10,000-year-old Fosna culture have been made there. The cave is Norway’s largest, extending 80 metres into the mountain. In bygone days, people believed that the cave was a hiding place. They therefore believed that the remains found there were those of outlaws and people who had been shipwrecked. Only recently have we begun to appreciate the extent to which the cave was used in ancient times. Dramatic legends have been spun around the Bremsneshola cave, like so many other caves.

Franskhelleren (the French grotto) is a grotto located about 4-500 m from the ferry landing at Dryna. French POWs fleeing from the Germans lived here during the last six months of the war in 1944-45. Good view of the ocean and numerous skerries and islands..
