Sundebru: AbelSenteret, the Old Bridge and Paddling

Sundebru brings together cultural history and practical leisure opportunities: the old bridge is an important cultural heritage monument related to transport, AbelSenteret features a permanent exhibition about Nils Henrik Abel, and a municipal lending service lends out sports and leisure equipment free of charge. Nearby, there is also a paddling route with opportunities for fishing and swimming. Den Lille Dyrehage also offers a special wildlife experience.

Rainforest and Wildlife

Den Lille Dyrehage has a 1,200 m² covered South American rainforest. Small monkeys, birds, lizards and other exotic animals live there.

Jungelløypa is an activity at Den Lille Dyrehage. It adds another named offering to your visit. The rainforest and Jungelløypa therefore provide two different starting points for planning an outing: observing animals and another activity on site. For a change of theme, you can contrast a visit to the wildlife park with AbelSenteret: a historical figure takes centre stage there, while here it is the animal kingdom—offering different emphases for nature and culture interests.

The Old Bridge and Experiences on the Water

The old bridge near Sundebru is an important cultural heritage monument related to transport.

The bridge also has a distinctive feature for paddlers: for fun, they can paddle through the small opening on the left beneath the old Sundebru Bridge. Nearby, a paddling route also runs through the Gjerstadvassdrag. Along the way, there are opportunities for fishing and swimming. This gives you two different ideas for spending time on the water: a specific experience at the bridge and other activities along a paddling route.

AbelSenteret and Its Offerings

AbelSenteret in Sundebru has a permanent exhibition about the life and work of Nils Henrik Abel. It provides a distinct cultural focus for your stay. Groups and individuals can arrange guided tours, lectures and similar offerings with AbelSenteret by appointment. If you want to learn more about Abel, you can therefore look beyond the permanent exhibition and arrange an offering with the centre.

Every autumn, AbelSenteret holds a weekly seminar in collaboration with local schools and institutions.

Getting Around and Equipment

Sundebru has a municipal lending service where everyone can borrow sports and leisure equipment free of charge. Between Sundebru and Brokelandsheia, the section of Fv. 418 is a natural transport connection for people travelling without motorised vehicles. Both aspects are relevant to travel planning: the lending service as a local option, and the road section as a connection for people travelling without motorised transport.
