As a guest at Hulbak, we want you to experience the peaceful Norwegian nature and its revitalising energy. For generations, the Hemsedal hill farmer has interacted closely with nature and subsisted off local resources. Through his knowledge and love of nature and tireless dedication to his farm, land and livestock, the Hemsedal farmer has prospered and created a beautiful cultivated landscape.

Here you can listen to the songbirds, study the local flora, watch the sunrise...... or gaze upon the starry heavens on a clear winter night...... enjoy the views and images of the mountain tops in varying light.....not to mention the autumnal hues…… just as local people and artists have done through the ages! Whatever the season, Hulbak Søre Farm and the surrounding countryside will help charge your batteries and revitalise the spirit.

History
The name HULBAK stems from “Hurdarbak” an Old Norse word meaning “the rear of a door” or “the space between a door and wall”. When used as a place-name it means “a place secluded by hills and mountains”. Hulbak Søre Farm has been in the same family since 1790, and is now in the hands of the seventh generation. Over the past 50 years, the owners have exploited the farm’s resources in a variety of ways. The first rental cabin was built in 1966 and in the ensuing years the previous generation established a thriving business with 10 cabins and a campsite. Over the past 40 years we have attracted many regular customers. Countless Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, German and Dutch guests have loved coming here to stay in our comfortable cabins and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Livestock (cattle, sheep and goats), hay production, traditional mountain farming and remote grazing have always been the staple activity. However, despite milk production ending in 2003, the farm continues to be used for traditional feed production and grazing.
