The development project "Åkle" is manifested in the grayed mass timber and comprises dozens of apartments and commercial buildings like a grocery store and a café. The residences are connected to an underground parking facility, a rarity so far from the city.
The municipality's rich heritage and identity have merged with the ambition of environmentally friendly placemaking.
However, Birketveit is more than just the Åkle project. The village boasts its own sports hall and a beautiful white church a bit further away. Several houses dot the hillsides, offering views of a lake surrounded by lush forest.

"Ivelandsveggen" is a sculpted rocky outcrop at the entrance to Birketveit. At first glance, it might resemble a giant modern painting. But it's stone and nature’s own masterpiece. This rocky outcrop serves as a geological cross-section, illustrating the most characteristic rock types in Iveland and how they appear.
Iveland municipality has a rich mining history, and geology and minerals have become an integral part of the culture. To commemorate this, a portion of the mountainside was cut to reveal the rock's structure. The pattern exposed has gained worldwide recognition among geologists. Numerous geologists and students have used this exposure to study the area's geology.
