Ørsdalen valley in Magma UNESCO Global Geopark

From Ørsdalen you can, among other things, reach the trekking association's cabin on Kvitlen, summit hikes to mountain tops Bjordalstolen or Mjåvassknuten and continue on old working roads all the way to the valleys of Hunnedalen or Sirdal, go on guided tours through old mines or take a boat trip with the beautiful boat M/K Ørsdølen on the lake 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.
