Seven lovely beaches
We can truly call ourselves "Norway's South" when we are surrounded by beaches on all sides.
All the beaches offer something unique, whether it's a volleyball court, a playground in the water, privacy, or plenty of space. Our nearest beach is an 800-meter-long sandy beach.
Go beach hopping or enjoy relaxing days at your favorite.

Big playground
Our playground is more than just a place for physical activity. It's where imagination turns into reality, and creativity is set free.
Listen to the children's joyous laughter as they climb, run, and explore a world designed especially for them. While they reach new heights on the climbing frame, feel the sense of freedom on the swings, and run freely in the play area.

Norway's best outdoor area
Furulunden has previously won an award as Norway's best outdoor and running area.
The forest area consists primarily of pine trees. The paths and roads are perfect for cycling, walking, and running. In the middle of the area, Hobdetoppen is located, with a view of the archipelago and Furulunden. The hike to the top takes no more than 10-15 minutes.
Furulunden is a lovely recreational area, where you can take a walk or jog. Don't be surprised if you meet a deer, as it's an everyday experience here.
