About
Bjerknes Farm
Bjerknes Farm offers bed and breakfast accommodation . "Farm tourism" has old traditions in Norway and is maintained by younger generations in the form of a pleasant accommodation offer in traditional surroundings, far away from city noise and mass tourism. At Bjerknes Farm, you can relax and enjoy nature in peace and quiet, while being very close to a range of activities and cultural offerings.
You stay in a house that was built 200 years ago but still offers good comfort. There is a living room with a TV and a private kitchen for self-catering. The rooms are comfortable and homely. The color scheme is harmonious, and you feel a safe and good atmosphere in the old house.
Outdoor activities with fishing and swimming opportunities
For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Bjerknes Farm offers many opportunities. There are several swimming spots along the shores of Lake Mjøsa and in the bays of the Vorma River. If you are a fishing enthusiast, you can rent a boat and try fishing in the Vorma or Mjøsa. We offer weekly rentals with boats and gasoline included in the rent.
