The protected area is 122 km\u00b2 and was established in 1991. Much of Lusaheia is a high mountain plateau that lies between 1000 and 1100 meters above sea level. The ice has done a thorough job here and has left behind a landscape comprising of many bare mountains that are littered in many places with glacial erratic blocks of different sizes. The name Lusaheia most likely originates from this characteristic natural phenomenon. The green and lush Stor\u00e5dalen valley divides the mountainous area in two, and forms an exciting contrast to the rest of the protected area. Stor\u00e5dalen valley runs in a northeasterly direction from Nilsebuvatnet lake, and the valley floor lies at about 800 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/arrow-r.svg&#8221; alt=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; title_text=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; max_width=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0vh||3vh|3vw|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;first-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ny-Forside-Lusaheia-Foto-Odd-Inge-Worsoe-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Photo: Odd Inge Wors\u00f8e&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;reveal_section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;custom_row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;link_option_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eceae9&#8243; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijg4NSJ9fQ==@&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;second-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh|3vw|3vh|3vw|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Vormedalsheia Protected Landscape<\/h2>\n<p>Vormedalsheia Protected Landscape is located to the south of the inner parts of J\u00f8senfjorden in Hjelmeland Municipality.

The locals called it something rather less dramatic. For them, the area had been a place where they could supplement their diet with reindeer meat, and the name Dyraheio (animal hills) must have been a natural choice. Wild reindeer hunting was important in these areas, and the \u2018animals\u2019 in the name must have referred to wild reindeer. Dyraheio Protected Landscape was protected in 1997.

The Otra river has formed a river delta of sand and gravel to the northeast.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/arrow-r.svg&#8221; alt=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; title_text=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk2NiJ9fQ==@&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;url&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2vh||2vh|3vw|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;first-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Forside1-Lislevatn-Foto-Kirsten-Leira.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Photo: Kirsten Leira&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;reveal_section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;custom_row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eceae9&#8243; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;second-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;link_option_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh|3vw|3vh|3vw|false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk2OSJ9fQ==@&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Vidmyr Nature Reserve<\/h2>\n<p>Vidmyr Nature Reserve is located on the western side of the Otra river at Hovden in Bykle Municipality. Vidmyr means \u2018wide marsh\u2019, and there is good reason why it has been given this name. Together with the marshland area in Hovden Protected Landscape, Vidmyr is one of the largest contiguous marshland areas in the region. With an area of 9.7 km2, Vidmyr is one of the larger nature reserves. Historically, Vidmyr has been particularly important as hay fields and grazing pasture for livestock. Here, visitors will find many distinctive plant species adapted to the area that have been grazed and used to make hay. A smaller area in the south-west of the nature reserve continues to be cut in order to protect these species of plant.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/arrow-r.svg&#8221; alt=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; title_text=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk2OSJ9fQ==@&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;url&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2vh||2vh|3vw|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;first-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Forside2-Landskapet-pa\u030a-Vidmyr_-Foto-Sigrid-Bjorgum.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Photo: Sigrid Bj\u00f8rgum&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;reveal_section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;custom_row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eceae9&#8243; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;second-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;link_option_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh|3vw|3vh|3vw|false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk3MyJ9fQ==@&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>\u00d8yast\u00f8l Nature Reserve<\/h2>\n<p>\u00d8yast\u00f8l is a very beautiful area that offers great experiences.

Large parts of Migaren share a border with Frafjordheiane Protected Landscape.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/arrow-r.svg&#8221; alt=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; title_text=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk4NyJ9fQ==@&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;url&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2vh||2vh|3vw|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;first-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Forside1-Migaren-Statsforvalteren-i-Rogaland.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Photo: Statsforvalteren i Rogaland&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;reveal_section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;custom_row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;link_option_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eceae9&#8243; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk5MSJ9fQ==@&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;second-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh|3vw|3vh|3vw|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Ljos\u00e5dalen Nature Reserve<\/h2>\n<p>Ljos\u00e5dalen Nature Reserve is a forested area in Ljos\u00e5dalen valley located in the north-west of Valle Municipality. It was voluntarily protected as a nature reserve by royal decree on 11 December 2015. The nature reserve covers a total area of approximately 37.9 km2 and shares borders with Setesdal Vesthei and Ryfylkeheiane Protected Landscape and Hisdal Nature Reserve. The area stretches westwards on both sides of the Ljos\u00e5ni river towards Ljos\u00e5vatnet lake and Rjuven. Voilenuten is the highest mountain in the area standing at 1343 meters above sea level. Ljos\u00e5dalen Nature Reserve is the largest reserve in the SVR management area. Old pine forests and particularly important calving grounds for wild reindeer are two important reasons why the area gained its protected status.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/arrow-r.svg&#8221; alt=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; title_text=&#8221;arrow-r&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; max_width=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2vh||2vh|3vw|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||6vh||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;first-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ny-Forside1-Fossen-i-Ljosa\u030adalen-Foto-Odd-Inge-Worsoe.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Photo: Odd Inge Wors\u00f8e&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;reveal_section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;3vh||3vh||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;custom_row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eceae9&#8243; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;second-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh|3vw|3vh|3vw|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Map of the Area\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Oversiktskart-210812.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Overview of traffic\/travel restrictions in PDF format<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svr.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SVR_brosjyrekart_pdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brochure map in PDF format \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/miljoatlas.miljodirektoratet.no\/KlientFull.htm?ma=C6C4D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Map of the area at Environmental Norway<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;first-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<pee><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Milj\u00f8kart\" src=\"https:\/\/miljoatlas.miljodirektoratet.no\/KlientMini.htm?lang=no&#038;extent=-67499|6525856|129860|6645321&#038;layers=385:100;387:100;386:100;363:100;&#038;basemap=KART&#038;opacity=60&#038;saturation=100\" width=\"1980px\" height=\"690px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> Din nettleser st\u00f8tter ikke Iframe \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/miljoatlas.miljodirektoratet.no\/iFrameSupport.htm?lang=no&#038;extent=-67499|6525856|129860|6645321&#038;layers=385:100;387:100;386:100;363:100;&#038;basemap=KART&#038;opacity=60&#038;saturation=100\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Klikk her for \u00e5 \u00e5pne interaktivt kart<\/a> <\/iframe><\/pee>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;reveal_section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;3vh||3vh||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;custom_row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eceae9&#8243; width=&#8221;95%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;second-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3vh|3vw|3vh|3vw|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Management\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The Protected Area Board for SVR is the administrative authority for the 17 protected areas that are presented on this website.
