Grønset Skysstasjon

You're almost arriving at the Grønset farm. Feel free to stop by; you can even stay overnight if you fancy or grab a bite to eat at the café if it's open. Finally, the farm has been transformed into Grønset coaching inn (skysstasjon in Norwegian). Helga Hjorthol Grønset is the lady of the house, and she'll describe her farm like this: You see, my grandfather, Lars Grønset Hjorthol, had a strong desire for a coaching inn here. 80 years ago, he even enlisted the architect Håkon Bleken to design the necessary changes to the house. But you know, the ground beneath the house was full of quicksand. The entire Grønset house ended up standing and trembling on thin poles for several months. So, all the money my grandfather intended to use to build a hotel vanished into that soggy clay. However, it became very safe afterward! Anyway, it took a few years before the coaching inn became a reality, but now it's finally here. Grønset has been here for a long time, and there are traces of Stone Age settlements on this headland. The fjord you see is called Vinjefjorden. And hang onto your hat: the fish in Vinjefjorden are cheeky devils! Welcome!
