Welcome to Eresfjord! Eresfjord is known for its high mountains and fantastic outdoor experiences. Here you can hike both in the summer and winter, cycle, paddle on Eikesdalsvatnet, fish in Eira or swim in the sea. There are many things to do and you can find out about even more activities by contacting the tourist information at the store in the village. Eresfjord is the region’s cycling village. The former professional cyclist Kurt Asle Arvesen has been a good ambassador and driving force for cycle sports. Every summer around 100 colourful cycles are placed around the village, and many cycle races are arranged. The oldest race is the ‘village loop’, which was arranged for the first time in 1977. The village loop is 13,5 kilometres and you can hire bikes at the Co-op. Eirawater is produced in Eresfjord and is worth tasting. It is natural mineral water from the Eira Source, a 10 thousand year old moraine of gneiss rock. These unique conditions create the perfect natural water filter and lead to the water with the lowest mineral content on the Norwegian market. Nauste is also worth a visit if you are in the area. Nauste was originally the centre before Eresfjord and Eikesdal. It had a steamship quay, village store, bakery, post office and a hotel. www.portalnesset.no
