On the hills south of Eikeren lies a small stretch of unspoilt wilderness – a peaceful natural area with quiet forests, clear waters and excellent opportunities for outdoor activities all year round. Hajern and Øksne form a connected system of reservoirs, around 400 metres above sea level, which are particularly well suited to canoeing.
Along the lakes and on the small islands, you’ll find several idyllic camping spots, perfect for a night under the stars. The area offers a wealth of outdoor activities, including berry picking, fishing for perch and trout, swimming, canoeing and lovely walking trails. There are also several other lakes in the immediate vicinity that invite you to enjoy nature and explore.
Despite the short drive here, the area offers a genuine wilderness experience. Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet and feel as though you’re a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The access roads to both Hajern and Øksne have toll barriers.
Fishing permits cost NOK 50 per day and can be paid for using the payment slip found in the box at the toll barrier on the way up.
