Driving instructions from Oslo/Trondheim to Kalbekkvika/Sørengvatn/Øvereidet:

Take the E6 north from Oslo. Follow signs to Trondheim. Just before Trondheim, follow signs towards E6 Narvik (to avoid driving through the city centre). Continue on the E6 for another 350km. Take a left towards Brønnøysund. After 45 km, you will see a sign pointing towards Vassbygda. Continue on the main road 100 meter and you will get a red house on your right hand side. This is the house of our chief forester Steinar Hansen, who will meet you and guide you the rest of the way.

Driving instructions from Oslo/Trondheim to most other cabins:

Take the E6 north from Oslo. Follow signs to Trondheim. Just before Trondheim, follow signs towards E6 Narvik (to avoid driving through the city centre). Continue on the E6 for another 270km. 10 km after you have passed Grong, follow the signs towards Brønnøysund. Follow the RV17 north twards brønnøysund until you see a sign towards Terråk. When arriving at Terråk, you will get a gas station on your right hand side. 200 meters past this, there is a driveway up to the right. Our house and office lies on top of the driveway to the right (a large yellow wooden house).

Most cabins can be reached by car or by boat. You will find details about this under each product description.

Car rental:

You can rent a car upon arrival on the different airports or contact the agencies in advance: Trondheim Brønnøysund  Rørvik Namsos

In Trondheim there are also two low price companies: Cars for less and Rent a wreck (The latter have slightly better cars than the name indicates).

In Namsos there is also a Rent a wreck outlet. In Brønnøysund there is a garage renting out (old) cars at an affordable rate. You can contact them at iogt@c2i.net

Price level:

Norway has a reputation for being very expensive. This used to be true, but the prices on most goods are now at a "European level". Alcohol and tobacco, however, is still very expensive in Norway due to high taxes, and petrol is still somewhat more expensive.

Climate and what to bring:

During a normal summer day, the temperature reach 25ºC, and the water temperature in the fjord is about 16-18ºC, but the weather changes rapidly. It is not uncommon with temperatures down to 10-12ºC during summertime. If you are going up in the mountain, you should bring wind and water proof clothing in addition to some warm, long underwear. Water proof shoes/rubber boots are mandatory if you want to walk in the wild.

There are no venomous snakes or spiders in the area. We have a  population lynx and wolverine, but it is very rear that they are seen as they are shy to humans. There is a large population of moose and most guests see moose during their stay. One advice: If you see a moose with its calf, do not try to run after the calf to pet it, as the mother might attack... We also have a healthy population of kings eagle and other beautiful animals.

Many of the cabins lie some distance from the parking space. If this is the case for your cabin: Pack your gear in bags and backpack and not in suitcases and/or plastic bags.

During summertime there can be a varying amount of biting insects, (from almost none to pretty bad). The most common are mosquito, blackfly and horsefly. Bring a repellent that you are familiar with. One that I personally have a very good experience with is Autan Active from Bayer. It might also be a good idea to bring a face net if you are going to spend many hours fishing in the river.

During summertime, it never gets dark. It is possible to read the newspaper at midnight. As fishing is often better during the night, many guests sleep during the day and are outside during the night.

Most places where you go, there are no marked tracks. The vegetation is in most areas so open that it is not difficult to find your way, but we recommend that you bring a map/compass or a GPS if you are not experienced with hiking. It is also possible to seek advice from us on where to go, or if you like, rent a guide to show you the area.

Where can you walk, and what are you allowed to do?

There are no regulations on where you can walk, so feel free not to follow any tracks. You are normally also free to build a fire in the woods, breaking of dry branches of the trees. (If it is very dry, however, the risk of starting a forest fire might get so big that you will not be allowed.) Grilling a freshly caught trout (with sour cream, salt and pepper & wrapped in aluminium foil) directly on the fire is recomended,

But please: Do not leave any garbage in the nature. Bring home everything that do not belong there.

What happens upon arrival:

When you arrive, you will meet one of our representatives who will explain what you need to know. He will show you on a map where the best fishing and hunting places are, and practical information about the cabin, hiking routes and different attractions. We will also try to visit you during your stay to see that you are enjoying your vacation.
