Location

The folk high school Sørlandet is idyllically situated in rural surroundings in the municipality of Birkenes. The capital of the Southern Norway region, Kristiansand, is approximately 30 kilometers away. It's just over 10 kilometers to the coastal beautiful city of Lillesand.

The school is centrally located in the municipality.

In the immediate vicinity, you will find grocery stores, post office, fast food restaurants, pharmacy, bakery, library, dentist, hairdressers, sports facilities, and a health center.

If you desire a wider selection for shopping, Sørlandssenteret is not far away (approximately 200 stores). It's located right next to the famous zoo called "Dyreparken", about a 20-minute drive from school. 

Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik, is 20 kilometers away. The E18 highway between Kristiansand and Grimstad ensures smooth traffic flow in the region (it takes 10 minutes from the E18 exit to reach the school).

A freshwater lake is not far from the school where the opportunities for swimming are excellent
