Lundersæter in Finnskogen

Lundersæter is located in Finnskogen and combines a wooden long church with various opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. A well-maintained network of trails, activities on foot and by bicycle, and groomed ski slopes in winter offer a range of options. Swimming beaches, fishing waters and activities on the water add to what’s on offer. When planning your trip, you can first consider whether culture, exercise, winter or water experiences are especially important to you.

Church and cemetery as cultural points of interest

Lundersæter Church is a wooden long church dating from 1868. Its distinctive tower, which defines its present-day appearance, was added in 1954. The dates represent two different aspects of its history: the year the church was built and a later change that helped shape its current appearance. Anyone interested in architectural history will find a specific point of interest here alongside the area’s nature and leisure activities.

The area around the church also tells the story of the place. The grounds around Lundersæter Church have long been used as a cemetery. A wooden plaque bearing the names of those buried there stands in the old cemetery at Lundersæter. The church and cemetery thus offer two different cultural points of interest: the architectural history of the long church and the remembrance of those buried in the cemetery.

On foot, by bicycle or on skis

Those who enjoy walking will find a well-maintained network of trails in Lundersæter and opportunities for outdoor activities. There are also opportunities to enjoy the outdoors by bicycle. This offers different options for a group trip: family members can discuss whether they would rather walk or include cycling. You can take your preferred way of being active into account when choosing a holiday destination.

In winter, Lundersæter has groomed ski slopes, and there are also opportunities for outdoor activities on skis. This adds a distinct winter option to walking and cycling. If you haven’t settled on an activity yet, you can weigh up the different interests of your fellow travellers.

Beaches, fishing and activities on the water

The water-based options include swimming beaches and fishing waters. There are also opportunities for activities on the water. These options appeal to different interests: a swimming beach offers something different from a place to fish, while activities on the water provide another way to enjoy the outdoors. When planning your trip, you can therefore consider whether you would prefer to spend time at the beach, fishing or taking part in an activity on the water.
