Vestre Ådal is the site of Viker Church and the Ådal Mountains (Ådalsfjellene), a small mountain range which stretches from Ådal to Vassfarfoten on the border with Vassfaret and Sør-Aurdal in Oppland.
Vassfaret is a desolate mountain valley in southern Norway, bordering Flå, Nes, Ringerike and Sør-Aurdal municipalities and Oppland and Buskerud counties.
All of the buildings at the museum are from small local farms and include houses used for hunting and fishing in the nearby mountains and the valleys of Vassfaret and Vidalen.
