Hovden is an Eldorado for anglers. Lakes, rivers and fjords offer the opportunity to fish with a fly, spoon or landing net. For example, the fishing trip in Hovden can take place along the Otra River or from a boat on Lake Hartevatn. No matter what type of fishing you choose, there's a good chance you'll get one or more brown trout on the hook or in the net.

The Byklestigen (Bykle track) was originally the only and dangerous route over the mountain to the town of Bykle. Today the Byklestigen has been restored so that children and adults can enjoy a fun and varied hike together in Hovden. There should be 71 steps on Byklestigen, but you can count yourself. The climb takes about half an hour. Pack your backpack, lace up your boots and embark on a cultural and historical journey through the high mountain landscape.

The swimming pool Hovden Badeland is located 850 meters above sea level in a magical natural setting. 3000 square meters of water paradise spread over 2 floors inside and out offer everything from wild slides to gentle whirlpools. There are pools and water activities for all ages and the water is 30 degrees year round.
