About Lyngheisenteret (The Heathland Centre) at Lygra:

Lyngheisenteret is beautifully located in the historic coastal landscape in Lindås, Nordhordland. Here you can walk along fine, well-maintained trails in the heathlands, or watch a film and exhibition, visit the farm, rent a bicycle or fishing rod, and if you are lucky you may see both eagles and wild sheep.

Lyngheisenteret is today the only place in Europe where you can experience authentic heathlands run by local farmers and adapted for visitors. It is a living museum with the mission of conveying West Norwegian coastal culture in addition to preserving the heathlands.
