Electrifying experiences by the Jøssingfjord

You may have seen photos of the small wooden houses tucked away under the giant rock formation Helleren by the Jøssingfjord. This area offers you a unique experience in a place where geology, hydropower and mining converge – a fascinating part of the history of power production in Norway.

It's just a small detour from the main road between south and west, and is definitely worth a visit. A very special history hides behind Helleren and the two small wooden houses built under this large rock formation by the Jøssingfjord. Nearby, you can visit the new Jøssingfjord Science Museum, where you can learn a lot about geology. This whole area offers a range of exciting activities.

Perhaps you have driven past these, or seen a picture of these little two houses under Helleren in Jøssingfjord. If you drive along the North Sea Route, you can see them from the Rv 44 somewhere in between Egersund and Flekkefjord.
