Orms mound is a pretty round barrow right next to a picnic site along the highway 18 from Voss to Bergen. It can easily be viewed from the road and a small shop is located right next to it.
The mound is around 18 metres across and arond 2 metres in height, it is grassy and some few large trees on top. From the mound is a beautiful view over the lake Vangsvatnet.
