Sail from Vrådal to Nissedal aboard MS Fram on a guided cultural heritage cruise through southern Telemark.
The voyage takes you down lake Nisser to the historic communities of Nordbygda and Kyrkjebygda, where you'll explore Nissedal on a guided tour. Captain Reidar Skogheim leads the cruise, and historian Torgeir Nordal shares the cultural history of the region as the journey unfolds.
Choose your experience: a full round trip from Vrådal, a one-way passage if you're traveling between the two villages, or the shorter round trip between the piers in Nissedal if you're already in the area.
