Mining tour or boat trip on Ørsdalsvatnet

From the turn of the century and for periods until after the Second World War, there was mining in Ørsdalen. One of the old mines in the valley has been renovated and secured. You can contact Bjerkreim municipality to explore a guided tour of the mine. Guided tours are furthermore organised on Sundays in July and August. This happens in connection with scheduled boat trips with M/K Ørsdølen. See also the websites of Ørsdølen, www.orsdolen.no for more information on departure times and prices with the boat.
