Mountain garden at Ljosland

Time for a picnic break? The mountain garden is always open to the public, and the entrance is free. It is nicely situated in a semi-circle between Ljosland Fjellstove and the river, with a path accessible for wheelchair users. Tables and benches make it convenient for a picnic break while you enjoy the view of the river and the valley. The plants in the garden are mainly from the mountain areas above the treeline in Agder County, but there are also non-local plants – including some from the Arctic island of Svalbard. They are divided into various categories, according to their natural habitat, and even some red-listed plants are included.
