Climbing and fitness
Climbing is popular. At Hamna Aktivitet og Helse there are climbing walls where the children can climb in Viking ships and in a monastery. There is also an impressively large bouldering hall. Hamna also has a new, large fitness centre with a range of activities. Trivselshagen at Sandane also has a climbing wall.
Indoor skating
Many people are familiar with Skateløa, or Jonaslåven, as it used to be called. The converted barn is open to anyone who wants to take advantage of the activities on offer: a skate ramp, table tennis, a bouldering wall, and more fun for all ages. There are great ambitions for this barn, and it will be continuously upgraded with new activities.

Pilgrim centre and churches
In the centre of Selje, you will find the Selje Regional Pilgrim Centre, one of four centres along the coastal pilgrimage route from Egersund to Trondheim. It’s a good warm up for a visit to the Selje Monastery.

Art exhibitions
In beautiful Eidsgata in Nordfjordeid, you will find Kulturhuset Gamlebanken with popular sales exhibitions. You can also visit Åse Huse’s gallery, UT av Huse, on her farm in Heggjabygda, and take courses in drawing and painting.
UT av Huse
Head a little off the beaten track to Heggjabygda, where UT av Huse offers art exhibitions,
cultural dissemination, and art courses. In the farm’s former smokehouse, you can learn about local
craft traditions and life on the farm both in the past and the present day. Part of the former smokehouse has been converted into a
unique studio with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Here, you can stroll
around and look at art, have a chat about art, enjoy views of the beautiful Western Norwegian nature, or attend
courses and create something yourself.
