This complex of 27 renovated buildings, the oldest dating from the early 17th cen-
tury, was lived in until the 1990s. It's largely the initiative of one person, the ebulli-
ent Laila Kvellestad. To get full value from the visit, follow her half- to one-hour
guided tour (Nkr30 extra; available in English four times daily). Plan too a rest break
to lick a locally made organic ice cream, sip fresh apple juice or eat a bowl of
røm-
megrøt,
a rich sour-cream porridge served with thin shavings of locally cured meat
(including organic lamb from Laila's farm).
