Top 6 Nature & Parks in Etne Municipality, Western Norway

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!

Marked path from Skromme. 30 minute walk from the bridge by the E-134 highway. Steep but fenced on the uppermost stretch. A deep hole in the rock face measuring up to 3-4 metres in diameter, carved out by ice and stones in the tumultuous river throughout hundreds of years.

The hiking trip follows the old Post Road that dates from the 1800s and sneaks along the riverside down through Rullestadjuvet Gorge. The walk begins in dramatic landscape at the edge of a waterfall and cliff. Further below, the terrain is gentler and the view of nearby farms and shimmering Lake Rullestadvatnet is very enjoyable. The historic trail was restored in 2009 and is easy to follow. Starts from the old E134 on top of the Rullestadjuvet and stops at the farms by the Rullestadvatnet lake, aprox. 2 kilometers. You can easily walk on your own, and groups can hire a guide on request. Along the way, the guide is happy to share the rich history of the area with you. Remember to bring comfortable shoes/hiking boots/boots, camera, also remember to dress according to the climate.

Recreation area for boating enthusiasts. A number of landing jetties to the north and east. Grilling facilities and drinking water at the restored boathouse at Botkerhuset.
