Jorlia

Down in Orkdalen, between Ry and Å, there is a large and single farm high up in the valley. Jorlia is the last farm in Rennebu before the trail enters Orkland municipality.

At one point, Jorlia consisted of over 50 houses, but sometime in the 18th century the farm went up in flames. The houses that stand here today were built after the fire.

One thing that is special about Jorlia is that the land has until recent years been worked the old fashioned way, without the use of heavy machinery. Because of this, Jorlia is today an important cultural landscape with a wide range of species that cannot be found in many other places.
