Tips from the Community
Beautiful rocky coast with a great hiking trail. Markings are rather sparse here, it requires a good eye or navigation for support.

It does not matter, if you get there by foot or pedal (hike the bike for 400m), the reward is granted and guaranteed. Although a typcial dagsturhytta, this location top notch for a break. There is even a possibility for an outside barbcue, a toilet and fire wood provided (100kr per pack) if you need to warm up the hytta or get your open fireplace going. It was the cleanest hytta, I have been too, so far. Highly recommended, if you are in the area.

Beautiful walk through the forest, sturdy shoes or hiking boots as you also walk over stones and roots.
