Ose

Ose is a small village in Bygland, located next to the main road RV 9 where the river Otra widens into the Åraksfjord. There has been a coaching inn here since 1887. Ose is known for its special building traditions and cultural activities, which include:
- The guest house Ose Turistheim, constructed in 1909 and still in service.

Just south of Ose you find the magnificent waterfall Reiårsfossen. Why not stop and enjoy the sight?
