About
On the mountain plateau Grothornet 900 metres above sea level lie the Julian Castle and the Isfla Castle. These are low stone-built labyrinths maybe from the Bronze Age, called Troy Castles, which are found in many parts of Europe. Vartdal is the only known place between Finnmark and the Oslo Fjord where such labyrinths are found, and only here are they placed high up in the mountains. A well-marked footpath starts from Bjarte Myklebust at Vartdal.
