Sight
Get close to Suldal's rich history, cultural heritage and distinctive mountain farm environment by spending the night at Børkjenes Gard in Hamrabøheia. Here they have the choice between real holiday idyll in the old fashioned way in their two stables up in the heath area behind the courtyard or with more modern facilities in the Kårhuset.

Børkjenes Gard is idyllically located in Hamrabøheia with its scenic surroundings and distinctive mountain garden environment. In total, the farm stretched over 8,653 da from the yard all the way to the mountains, and has a total of 40 houses. These are, among other things, the main house, barn, barn, sheep house, hen house, storehouse, mill house, drying house for grain, cable car house, cart house with annex, fire house, forge and sawmill. Most of the houses are from the 18th and 19th centuries, but several houses and stories also stretch further back in time.

The Garden was awarded the Olavsrosa in 2023, a quality mark for unique experiences rooted in Norwegian cultural heritage. They also received Suldal municipality's building conservation award in 2018 for their work in securing the building heritage at Børkjenes through their many small and large restoration projects.

From the stølane and the kår house, you also have access to a rich hiking network.
