The aereas around Strømdal and Gulset is ideal for small strolls with the family. Here is a rich wildlife, with moose and small wild animals.

Ulvskollen is the most popular area here. This is a popular hiking destination and a lot of people visit the small cabin, Brynhildsbu. Slightly more demanding fitness-wise are the area around Ulvskollen, Siljuknattane and Langelandskollen.
Idyllic Ulvsvann and several ponds located in the area. Near to Gulset it's nice to swim in Åletjern – this is a very popular place to the habitants in Skien.
