Gerlesborg with an artistic spirit

The small community of Gerlesborg is a nice excursion destination when you want to learn more about art and culture. Gerlesborg has a long history. From here, goods were shipped out to the rest of the world. It was grain, stone and other goods that were shipped. Today, the focus is more on art and culture.

Gerlesborg school

Here you will find an art school where the business has semester students who study nutrition in various forms. However, there are also short courses, mainly on weekends.

You can visit the school to view the students' artwork, on days when they have an exhibition. Find it through this link.

Restaurant Gerles

There is also a restaurant in the school building, which has been popular in recent years, as a lunch restaurant. But, now this summer in 2022, new owners will take over the restaurant. We are looking forward to visiting them and trying their food as we have heard that they have interesting ideas.

Gerlesborg view

Although it is the art school that is the main player in the area, the nature in the area is still the most admirable. When visiting the place, we got to experience the most amazing sunsets that beat any southern European city. Pictures are worth a thousand words, they say.
