From the cottages you have a magnificent view towards a couple of waterfalls, that, depending on weater, appear large or small.

On the island Varaldsøy to the cottage
From the ferry landing you follow the asphalt main road uphill.
After about 1,5 km you'll find an exit to the left that would take to the Church of Varaldsøy and right to Gjuvsland. Take right towards Gjuvsland. About 1 km further there is a second exit left to Øyerhamn. Hold right uphill.
At the third exit Gjuvsland is to the right and straight ahead to Haukanes. Here you go straight ahead along the gravel road towards Haukanes. After about 1,5 – 2 km you'll go through a small community called Fjellgardane. Follow the road to its highest point. From there it goes downhill to the fjord again and Åkre eventually on an asphalt road. Where the asphalt ends you continue 3-400 m on gravel road to our white house on the right of the road (2. door). From there we'll show you the rest of the way.
Timetables for ferry Gjermundshamn-Varaldsøy-Årsnes can be found here.
This beautiful waterfalls is located directly opposite to the vacation homes.
If it is silent at night and the wind comes from north east you can even listen to the falling water.
To go there with a boat is a wonderful experience.
