At Indrefjord Gard, you can get to know the animals and explore the farm, beautifully located in Hyllestad. Step into the barn, where you can feed the animals, cuddle with rabbits, horses, and ponies. If you feel adventurous, you can even have a go at sitting on horseback.
Take the horses down to the shore, enjoy lunch around the fire pit, and experience the day at your own pace, alongside your children. The visit can also be combined with other activities – see more details at the bottom of the page.
