Marvellous trekking routes in Hurrungane just 15 minuts away. Nice, family friendly walking route from Fortun 2 km away to "Fuglesteg", a restaurated stone farm at 600 m above sea level, with a nice view over Skjolden, and with possibilities to buy coffee, limonade and home made cake (weekends in summer only), served by volunteers.

The hike from Fortun up the mountainside to the Fugelsteg mountain farm is lovely. Hiking on the Nigard Glacier with a guide was an absolute highlight. The stave church at Urnes is a must.

What a sense of humor to ask such a question about Skjolden! Seriously, there is not a single thing you can label "Evening and Night Time Entertainment".. Let alone sitting on a bench watchig the waterfalls!

Skjolden is particularly famoust with the fact that the eminent Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein had spent some time there in the beginning of the 20th century. If you are his fan than do not miss the culutral walk called "Wittgenstein Path" in the center of Skjolden. You can even get to the site of his hut that is near the lake, but this path is rather hard especially if you are not equiped properly.

Do not miss the Urnes Stave Church!
