Suldalslågen

Suldalslågen flows calmly for 22 km through the Suldal valley, from Lake Suldalsvatnet to Sandsfossen waterfall and Sandsfjorden. Throughout history, the river has been a source of both great opportunity and disputes over fishing rights. Today, it is a renowned salmon river, famous for a large salmon population, with a record catch of 34 kilograms.

River tips

• Watch the salmon make their way up the fish ladder at the Salmon Studio by Sandsfossen, open during the summer season.
• Float down the river on a salmon safari or join a river rafting trip with Mo Laksegard.
• Walk along the river on the Sand Safari or explore the hiking trails from Suldalsosen, which offer great viewpoints and places to stop.

Along the river, you can still see the "salmon castles" from the era when English sport fishermen first came to Suldal.
