Bordalsgjelet
Deep down between the stone polished phyllite bedrock in Bordalsgjelet canyon, there is a cascading river. In close cooperation with hard polishing stones, the water has carved into the bedrock for thousands of years - and is still doing so today.
Byrkjehaugen
On the farm Bø, close to the highway between Bulken and Voss lies Byrkjehaugen, one of the largest burial mounds in West Norway. Originally it was around 50m across and 5m high, but following the excavation in 1908 and chipping off by both railway and road construction, the cross-section has shrunk to 37m and the height to 4m. All the same, it is an impressive burial monument for the passing traveller to see.
Jordalen
During the last ice ages, parts of the Voss river system were stolen and sent down Nærøydalen valley to Nærøy Fjord (Nærøyfjorden). Before this big river theft all of the rivers ran all the way from their sources in the mountains near the innermost part of the Sognefjord further southwards towards Voss. Evidence of the theft is still clearly visible in the terrain.
