Dølemo

Dølemo can be discovered through specific experiences, including a hike at Blå-huken, winter cross-country ski trails and an ice-skating rink. Nearby, you’ll also find the Koppsåna cultural heritage site with the Baas-saga. The Dølemomarknaden also has scheduled events in August 2027. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, a good starting point is to decide what you’d most like to focus on during your trip.

Hiking at Blå-huken

The Blå-huken hiking trail or summit in Dølemo is 595 metres above sea level. The route is 5.3 kilometres each way, and the round trip takes about 4.5 hours. When planning your day, it’s important to distinguish between these figures: the distance is for one way, while the time is for the return trip. This helps you plan the hike as a separate part of your trip without confusing the one-way distance with the total time. If hiking is a priority for you, these specific details are a useful guide when planning the activity.

Cross-country skiing and ice skating in winter

In winter, prepared cross-country ski trails are available in Dølemo. One illuminated trail is 1.5 kilometres long and starts right by Dølemo oppvekstsenter. Both its length and starting point are therefore clearly specified. For winter sports, parking is available at the sports facility in Dølemo. Another activity is ice skating: Dølemo IL lends out skates free of charge, and the rink has a heated lounge. Cross-country skiing and ice skating are different ways to enjoy a winter stay; which matters most for your trip can help determine where you stay.

Koppsåna and the Baas-saga

Visitors interested in cultural history and buildings will find the Koppsåna cultural heritage site with the Baas-saga near Dølemo. The complex was built in the 1880s. It includes a dam or weir, log-driving dams and water channels for a mill and sawmill. The site also includes a sawmill with a materials shed, as well as a mill. Together, the different elements show that this is more than a single structure: waterworks, sawmill buildings and mill features all form part of this cultural heritage site. The log-driving dams are considered a distinctive work of art in their own right. Koppsåna thus provides a cultural highlight alongside Dølemo’s hiking and winter activities.

Events at the Dølemomarknaden

The Dølemomarknaden has two scheduled events in August 2027. On Saturday, 28 August 2027, the programme includes an exhibition of enthusiast vehicles. On Sunday, 29 August 2027, a second-hand market for used goods will take place. The dates and events differ: Saturday focuses on the vehicle exhibition, while Sunday is about used goods. If you’d like to include these events in your trip, you can plan your stay around these two specific dates. The dates apply to the 2027 programme.

Plan your stay in Dølemo

Hiking, cross-country skiing, ice skating, cultural history and the August events appeal to different travel interests. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Dølemo, you can start by considering which of these experiences you want to shape your stay. If the market events are important to you, the two dates in August 2027 are key; for a winter sports-focused trip, the ski trails and ice-skating rink take centre stage. If culture is your main interest, you can include the nearby Koppsåna cultural heritage site in your plans.
