Located at one of the highest peaks (1066') in the county. It overlooks the whole
county, parts of neighboring counties and parts of Sweden. Linnekleppen is
the only fire tower still in use in Norway. It is a 56' four-legged reinforced prestressed concrete tower with wood cab on top. The first lookout was
constructed on the site in 1908, and was replaced by the current and more
modern structure in 1935. Linnekleppen is a popular outdoor recreation
destination, and can be reached by trail from state road #124, 2.2 miles south
of the lookout.
