The DNT hut Småvannsbu is well reachable from the Vesledammen car park (4.4 km) or the Dikemark bus stop (2.5 km). The cabin offers 4 beds (book online!) And the usual DNT standard with everything you need to sleep and prepare food (DNT key required). There is also a guitar and a few hidden features nearby.
