HAUGELANDSTRAND IN THE FEDA FJORD

Hauglandstrand is located in a sheltered bay on the westside of Fedafjorden in Kvinesdal. This is one of the very first settlements in the district and archaeologists have found traces from the Stone Age. Today you will see two new houses built in an old-fashioned way. Hauglandstrand may be reached by sea or by foot. It is suitable for shorter and longer excursions. The upper (and the largest) building accommodates 8 people on fold-out beds that function as benches during the day. There is a small kitchen area. The lower building  - the family cabin – accommodates 4, and has a kitchen area and a separate toilet.  The fold-out benches are 120 cm wide. 

To arrive here by foot, you need to park at Langevann.  Take off from E39 at Fosseland. Fosseland is located right by the tunnel on the border between the municipalities of Flekkefjord and Kvinesdal.
