DNT Krækkja Mountain Lodge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Maintained DNT hut on the Hardangervidda. Probably the first hut with catering that the DNT built (1879). Krækkja can be easily reached from Rv 7 (about 1.5 hours from Fagerheim or Halne) and is a great start (or destination) for a round trip through the Hardangervidda.

Bridge Over Skaupsjøen River

Highlight • Bridge

This is such a quaint bridge. It crosses a beautiful connecting stream that joins Storekrækkja and Drageidfjorden lakes. The views out over the plateau to the distant snow-speckled hills are super nice.

Kjeldebu DNT Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Kjeldebu consists of four huts, one for the keeper and a dog room, then the building with toilets, wood, etc., and two large huts, each with a kitchen, lounge and different sized bedrooms. The number of beds is between 3 and 12 beds per room. The cabin is beautifully located, right on the river that delivers water. Sunsets were spectacular, as were the views. Very quiet, with a few day visitors, as the road is only a few km away. At the end of August / beginning of September there were only a few overnight guests during the week.
