You will find hiking signs along both sides of the river.

Along the Bøelva you can experience a lot of life and variety in the landscape, with waterfalls and rapids, old homesteads and other cultural monuments. At Vaskarbergja, which is an old bathing spot and a good fishing spot, a sauna has been set up by Bø Badstue Forening. If you want to swim, it is important to be aware that there can be a lot of current in the river, so be careful. More information and the opportunity to apply for membership can be found at Bø Badstue Forening's group on Facebook. Vaskarbergja is located on the west side of the river, a few hundred meters walk from Gåråbrua.

Right outside the student accommodation, you have access to a rich hiking area with many blue-marked paths criss-crossing.

Åstjønn: 6km
