Our farms are well known for their traditional recipes that have been passed down through generations. Here you can enjoy everything from velvety-smooth r\u00f8mmegr\u00f8t to locally produced cheeses that have won international awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/seterliv.no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H\u00e5vardsrud Seterliv<\/a><\/strong> in Skirvedalen is a perfect destination for families with children. Here, children can get close to the animals, and there are often horse riding and opportunities to participate in life on the farm. Combine your visit with a trip up to <strong>Numedalshovda<\/strong> for a fantastic view before rewarding yourself with notes and coffee in the mountain caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Award-winning cheeses and historic sheep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For those interested in food, there are two stops that are mandatory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.selstali.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Selstali seats:<\/a><\/strong> Located at the foot of Gaustatoppen and widely known for its legendary r\u00f8mmegr\u00f8t. A perfect ending after a summit tour!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stordalengardsbruk.no\/norsk\/bergstaulen-seter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bergstaulen seats:<\/a><\/strong> This farm has made its mark on the world map with its brown cheese, which has won awards at the World Cheese Championships. A real taste of Telemark that you can take home with you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We are also proud of the work being done to preserve endangered livestock breeds. At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sandvikencamping.hornstaging.no\/opplevelse\/hulderull\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shoulder wool<\/a><\/strong> in Tessungdalen you can learn more about the special <em>Grey Tr\u00f8ndersauen<\/em>, and see how Turid Ree Bj\u00f8rnerud has saved this breed and refined its unique, soft wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wild animals in the wild<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the zoo animals are domesticated, Tinn is also home to many wild animals. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the king of the forest, <strong>moose<\/strong>, along the forest roads at dusk. On Hardangervidda, Northern Europe's largest tribe of <strong>wild reindeer<\/strong>. To learn more about these majestic animals, we recommend a visit to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardangerviddanasjonalparksenter.no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hardangervidda National Park Centre<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tips for animal lovers:<\/strong> If your children dream of petting reindeer or seeing lynx and wolves up close, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.langedrag.no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Langedrag Nature Park<\/a><\/strong> only 1.5 hours drive away - a great day trip from Sandviken!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
