Open Farm at Grytebakke

Open Farm 2026 at Grytebakke Farm

Each month offers new seasonal activities and experiences inspired by life on the farm.

During spring, summer and autumn, you can enjoy a ride on the hay wagon with Old Farmer and his vintage Fiat tractor, a favourite activity for visitors of all ages. In the Super Forest, you'll find a nature playground, a barbecue hut and opportunities for horse riding. When the weather is nice, the pancake café is also open.

Down at the farm, children can meet and pet the animals, jump in the hay and enjoy plenty of space to play. The café serves coffee and tasty treats for both young and old.

Hillestad church

The church is built on the site of an earlier medieval stave church.

The church features several historic furnishings, including an altarpiece from 1647, a pulpit from 1636, and a baptismal font dating from 1725. The current tower, sacristy, and windows were added during a renovation in 1911, while the church exterior was restored in 2009.
