🇳🇴 Hidden gem in Norway 🧙♂️🌳 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 & 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 🇳🇴 One of the most magical and fairytale land in Norway😍 The tuft houses of this idyllic place was once the home to one of the most famous painter, Nikolai Astrup, in Norway who lived here 100 years ago for his inspiration.

I don't know how much you get out if this place without a guide, but we had a guided tour and it was short, informative and enthusiastic. I would recommend it. Additionally to the museum, you will find a very simple cafe here (coffee/tea and waffles/pancakes), toilets and a small shop. Free parking by the lake. We spent 1.5 - 2 h here.

Very interesting museum at the painters home. My dad Jon grew up by the lake and he told med that he once rowed Astrups daughter across the lake. I recommend watching the Astrup movie before visiting.

Lovely learning about this Norwegian painter. Amazing old homes that he and his family lived in. Beautiful views, flowers, history and a nice gallery of his original work as well.

Museum of a Norwegian artist located in such a scenic place. Unfortunately, it was closed when I passed by it, but it offers amazing views over the fjords.

Fantastiske bilder med forklarende tekst i galleriet øvst. God guiding med mykje interessant informasjon. Vi var med på norsk guiding. Tok ca 3 kvarter. Dei hadde og engelsk. Anbefalar billett med både kunstgalleri og guiding då husa ikkje er åpne for andre enn dei som har det inkludert i billetten sin. Forsøk på å gjenskape alle plantene han hadde var utruleg godt gjennomført og satte ei utruleg fin ramme rundt det heile.
