Der Fluss Etneelva ist einer der nationalen Lachsflüsse in Norwegen und gehört zu den besten Revieren des Landes. Im kristallklaren Wasser des Flusses werden jedes Jahr wieder kapitale Fische gelandet. Die meisten Lachse liegen allerdings zwischen zwei und sieben Kilo – sicher kein schlechter Fang für Sportangler. Das Durchschnittsgewicht der letzten 30 Jahre beträgt 3,2 kg. Viele Sportangler betrachten Etneelva als ausgezeichnetes Revier zum Fliegenfischen, doch auch Würmer, Blinker,Spinner und Wobbler sind als Köder erlaubt.

About Fugl Fønix Hotel
Etne is renowned for its varied cultural history. In the Middle Ages Stødle was the seat of King Magnus Erlingsson. Although crowned when only five years old, King Magnus lived a short life, falling in battle at the age of twenty-eight. It was King Magnus’s father, Earl Erling Skakke who in 1160 commissioned his own private chapel which became Stødle Church. Near the church is a burial mound and ring formations, evidence that Etne was an important site during the Bronze Age.

Traces of early history are also to be found elsewhere in Etne. The Bruteig Stones in Stordalen have become one of western Norway’s most important archaeological sites.

Examples of the more recent past are also plentiful in Etne. Gjerde Church, Sæbøtunet Hamlet and the Post Road between Etne and Skånevik are but a few.

The village of Skånevik is best known for its timber framed buildings and decorative shop fronts. It comes as no surprise to anyone that Skånevik is often referred to as the “Pearl of Sunnhordland”. Fjords, waterfalls, mountains and lakes are all only a short distance away.

A fantastic great outdoors experience with a pack trip by horse through beautiful
mountainous landscape.

Taking the road from the hamlet of Åkra, the trip commences on a track hundreds of years old that leads to a mountain farm. Through varied and often steep terrain, the track winds towards Åkra Mountain Farm situated some 600 metres above sea level. After passing Ingaskar Summit we stop to try our luck fi shing in Lake Ingavatnet. Continuing on, we trek in the direction of some lakes where we make camp for the night. The next day, following a hearty breakfast we journey towards Sandvasshorga Summit (1163 MSL) where there are som stunning views to be had. It is also very interesting to observe how the horses work their way over the mountains. The trek continues through undulating landscape up to Avaldsnuten Summit (1245 MSL). Here, the view can only be described as formidable: Folgefonna Glacier, Hardangervidda Plateau, Kvinnherad Mountains, Eikemo, Etnefjella Mountains, and Åkra Fjord with a panorama view of Langfoss Waterfall - one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Norway. We then wander down to Vetrehusvatna Lake and continue down through Skredalen Valley to Vetrehus, an active mountain goat farm. At this stage we are now down to approximately 400 MSL and we can take the roadway that runs to the sea. We cross the fjord by boat and arrive back at Åkra.
