Visit Voss' historical grounds at our local historical museum. Mølstertunet is situated on a hilltop with a beautiful view of Vossavangen. It is a beautiful farm cluster with sixteen small and large buildings. The buildings still stand on their original sites – nothing has been moved either to or from the farm cluster. The buildings provide a genuine picture of the building style and way people used to live in olden times.
The permanent collection at Voss Folk Museum is under renovation and the new exhibition will open during summer 2020. The new exhibition will accentuate our rich collection of folk art, it will focus on events and people that have left their mark on Voss.

Bordalsgjelet is a spectacular natural attraction within walking distance from the town centre.
The deep and imposing Bordalsgjelet has been adapted for the visiting public with an information board, a viewpoint and benches for resting tired legs. When the ground isn’t hidden by snow it is possible to follow a purposely-built path that guides you to the gorge.
