The Hulder Boulder & Rocking Stone Beer Tasting Experience

Discover one of Stord's most enigmatic natural landmarks — the legendary Hulder Rocking Stone — woven into Norse folklore for centuries, then toast the adventure with a curated craft beer tasting rooted in West Norwegian brewing tradition.

What to expect

Your private local expert leads you to the Hulder Boulder, a glacially-deposited rocking stone cloaked in centuries of Norse folklore about the hulder — the seductive, forest-dwelling spirit of Norwegian legend. The guide brings the mythology to vivid, atmospheric life. The experience then transitions to a handcrafted tasting session with locally brewed West Norwegian craft beers, with the brewer on hand to explain each expression. It is an irresistible pairing of ancient legend and artisan culture, entirely exclusive to your small group.
