• One of Fyresdal's two churches (
Moland Church) and the
vicarage (
Fyresdal Prestegard) are located in Moland. According to Telemark
folklore, the
Troll of Røykjenes moved across the lake because the bells of the Moland Church were disturbing its nap. The vicarage is where
Vidkun Quisling was born. • Within the administrative center of Moland, one also finds the old village centre,
Folkestadbyen. Folkestadbyen is the location of the
Fyresdal Vertshus, a
Swiss-styled dwelling built in 1890. It has housed and served both food and drinks to locals and travellers for over 100 years.
Øyskogen park, which contains Viking graves and a lot of traditional Telemark houses
(e.g. lofts and stabburs) is also part of the old village. The
Fyresdal Bygdemuseum, the village museum, is also located in Øyskogen. •
Fv 355 runs straight through the municipality from north to south.
Hegglandsgrend,
Veum, and
Hauggrend are villages along Fv 355 located north of Moland. Hegglandsgrend is the home of
Heggland Gamle Kyrkjegard; Veum is the home of
Veum Church. A
Rudolf Steiner School (an
upper secondary level school) was located at
Foldsæ in Hauggrend. This so-called
friskole ("Free school") based on the thoughts and ideas of
Rudolf Steiner was however closed down after few years. In Hauggrend, one also finds the most distinct mountain in Fyresdal,
Roan. This peak is above sea level, but not the highest point in the municipality, since the border to
Valle passes near the peak of
Napuren, at a height of above sea level, some 300 feet higher. • North of Moland, to the west from the main valley we find the little settlements of
Kleivgrend,
Åslandsgrend. Turning left of the Fv 355 in Hegglandsgrend, one comes to Kleivgrend and Åslandsgrend. Between Kleivgrend and the neighbouring municipality
Valle on the western side of the mountains, one finds an old track that priests and bishops used to get between the counties of
Agder and Telemark. This track is named
Bispevegen ("Bishop's Road") and every year a march called
Bispevegmarsjen ("The Bishop's Road March") starts in Kleivgrend. In Fjellgardane, Germans ran mines in the 16th century at
Moisesberg. • On the western shores of the lake
Fyresvatnet, to the southwest of Moland, one finds the villages of
Fardal,
Breivik. Here one finds an old and interesting stone called
Røykjenessteinen. In 2005, one also found some
arrowheads in this area that are believed to be 4000–4500 years old. Farther along the country road we find
Øvre Birtedalen, a popular place for people to have
mountain cabins. • South of Moland, at the southern end of Fv 355 across the scenic and mighty mountain of
Våmur where one can see the lake from up above, one comes to the little village of
Kilegrend. In the old days, there was no road connecting Kilegrend with the municipal centre. Thus one had to travel by boat. For years the steamboats called
Teisner and
Fyresdølen travelled between Moland and Kilegrend. The latter eventually capsized and sank. The wreck is still visible in Kilegrend. Moland kyrkje.JPG|Moland Church Fyresdal flyplass (tårn).JPG|Fyresdal Airport Veum kyrkje.JPG|Veum Church Fyresvatn.JPG|Fyresvatn (Lake Fyresdal) ==Notable people==
