The village of Eikesdal is a pearl of nature which lies at the south end of Eikesdalsvatnet. If you are peckish then we would recommend that during the summer season you stop in at the Eikesdal Inn. But should you wish to stay longer then the village also has a campsite and numerous cabins for rental. There are also good fishing options, boat hire and great hiking terrain in both the high mountains and at low land. The most well-known attractions in Eikesdal are Mardalsfossen and Aursjøvegen. Mardalsfossen waterfall is regulated but runs from the 20th June to the 20th August. The walk up to the waterfall from the car park in Mardalen is around 2 kilometres and it takes around half an hour to walk the path right up to the waterfall. The Aursjø road runs between Eikesdal and Sunndalsøra and is an attraction in itself. The highest point on the road is at 947 metres and surpasses what most of Norway can offer in terms of a spectacular stretch of road. You can experience the road by car, bike or on foot. The river Aura is as good as dry after large scale power station developments. But after 50 years this is going to change, pressure from the people means that that there is to be a minimum flow in Aura and that the water will soon be back to Mardalsfossen waterfall. You can find more information about this at the Eikesdal Inn. www.portalnesset.no
