The Reiårsfossen waterfall lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the south. The area just southeast of the waterfall is the site of Reiårsfossen Camping, which is also the location of the Ose Country Music festival.[2] There is a traditionally-built log building in Ose called Storståga, which is used for various exhibitions.

The SS Bjoren is a wood-fuelled heritage steamboat that travels the route between Byglandsfjord-Bygland-Ose across the lake Byglandsfjorden and Åraksfjorden each summer.
