Ås is the name of a farm approximately 2,5 km NE of the center of Evje.

Aerial pictures of 1958 and 1972 show extensive agricultural activity. Between these years a large area was replanted with trees (58.60526544245764,7.782504558563233).

It is highly recommended to walk up this way, all the way to the top of the Fennefoss mountain, from where you have a magnificent view over Evje!

3 old feldspar quarries in granite pegmatite dikes.
