On the vertical bluff above Dalen is Rui, the homestead where sisters Ingrine and Gurine lived. They became known across the country as "the girls from Rui who came to the king". The path is steep and leads over a staircase built by Sherpas from Nepal, but the way is not long at all.

Historically significant place, the family history is very Norwegian, two sisters spend their whole lives as self-sufficient people in a bare hut. One day their biggest dream comes true, they are allowed to travel to Oslo and are received by the king.
