Rock Shelter and Historic Houses

The cultural heritage site is situated under a rock shelter, which is formed by a protruding mountain at the end of Jøssingfjord. This rock shelter, with its impressive length of 60 meters, is one of the largest of its kind in Norway. It provides a unique and fascinating backdrop for the two remaining wooden houses from the 19th century that stand beneath it.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Helleren is a small open-air museum located in the picturesque Jøssingfjord, Norway. It features two well-preserved 19th-century farmhouses built under a large rock overhang, which has protected them from the elements for centuries. Visitors can explore these traditional Norwegian dwellings and get a glimpse into rural life from the past. The site offers a quiet, contemplative experience with beautiful natural surroundings. While not extensive, the museum provides informative displays about local history and the unique geological features of the area. Some visitors note that the site can be reached via a short, easy walk, making it accessible for most. However, others mention that facilities are limited, and the experience may be brief for those expecting a more comprehensive museum. The unusual setting and historical significance make Helleren an interesting stop for those interested in Norwegian cultural heritage, though it may not occupy a full day's itinerary.
