Otternes

Otternes is a Norwegian linear and cluster collective farmyard midway between Aurland and Flåm in Vestland County.

The land redistribution reform in the 1860s were not implemented in Otternes, where the allocation of strip of fields lasted until 1987.

The cultivated landscape remains essentially intact with hills, stairs, stone walls, wells, etc.

Today Otternes serves as a rural museum and a centre for traditional crafts.

It is also used for traditional activities as spinning, weaving, thin wafer crispbread (flat bread) baking, yarn dyeing, ale brewing and a variety of other exhibitions in the summer.
