About the farm:
Vikaparken is situated on a former small farm.
Femsteinevik farm is first mentioned in documents from 1585.
The farm then was located under the neighboring farm Grønevik.
Grønevik farm dates back to medieval times. (Year 1030 to 1536)
In 1651 the farm got into Axel Mowatt`s property.
The farm is belonging to The Rosendal Baroni for hundreds of years.
The farm, no.159 / 2, was bought back from The Rosendal Baroni in 1931.
The farm is about 700 acres, of this area is about 30 acres at the fjord for recreational activities, and 383 acres have become a part of
Geitaknottane Nature Reserve.

About the surrounding area:
Calcium Rich rocks are characteristic of the very rich natural habitat.
The area has a varied geology and with some older mines, also for the extraction of gold.  
It is well-marked hiking trails,
more protected habitats, rock carvings, etc.

Within a short distance we have a very varied scenery, from glaciers to lush mountains steep and naked rocks and reefs.
The area is largely untouched in the historical track, where you can read our story from the Ice Age to the present.
We are experiencing a growing awareness of these values in the area, and the establishment of Folgefonna Nasjonalpark -
glacier national park and several nature reserves are evidence of this.


”Vikaløå”

Older restored building with a distinctive atmosphere.

Used for meetings, birthdays, friend gatherings. Contains basic kitchen, fireplace both inside, and outdoors under roof.
There also are billiards, table tennis, etc.
Vikaløå is connected to sauna, shower, toilet, outside jacuzzi, roof terrace with lovely views.
The building is now also insulated for use in the colder season.


Geitaknottane Nature Reserve
In December 1997 was 383 acres of our farm, (No. 159 / 2), made into a nature reserve.
Geitaknottane Nature Reserve is Norway's richest known site for Red List species Large Salamander. (Triturus Cristautus.)
Probably it is one of the world's richest area of the species.

Large salamander - a crocodile from the beginning of time.

Geitaknottane Nature Reserve is unique in its kind.
It is a road in the forest the whole way to the reserve boundary.
The reserve is located 100 - 300 meters above sea level.
The area has more than 200 small ponds.
No later than the 60 - 70 years ago, the area was used for collecting timber etc

Large salamander is an amphibian that lives both in water and on land, but one do not know much about the overwintering sites.
Large Salamander is very vulnerable regarding the occurrence of fish and water quality.
This area has good water quality with calk in the bedrock and good buffer properties. There are many small ponds that are naturally
occurring free from fish.
400 million years have passed amphibians on the planet, but now many of these are threatened species.
Amphibians are generally highly vulnerable to changes in environmental parameters, but here is still a good environment for the Large Salamander.
We encourage our guests to show respect and care for the environment.
