If you wish to experience life way into the wilderness, we suggest you try the cabin at Kalvkruvatn. It is situated on the shore of a beautiful lake 286 meters above sea level, and is among our best places for trout fishing and grouse hunting.

A construction road (closed for public traffic) takes you to  a dam connected to a  hydro electric power plant further up the Åbjøra water system. Our guests are allowed to use this road and park their car a few km from the cabin.

From where you leave your car, you hike 1,5 km down to the lake Mellavatn. There you will find a boat with an outboard engine to take you across the lake. From the other side, you hike about 1 km down to the lake Kalvkru, where you find a new boat which you row across the lake to get to the cabin. In total the trip takes  2-3 hours. The fishing in both lakes are very good, and you can walk for days in the area without meeting other people. 

During wintertime, propane and other heavy goods are brought to the cabin, and the cabin undergoes a thorough cleaning. For the rest of the season, we are dependent on our guests cleaning the cabin after use, as distance makes it impossible for us to supervise the cabin after each stay.

The cabin is about 43 m2, and was built in 1985. It is fully isolated, simple, but nice. It has two separate twin bedrooms, and a living room with a kitchen corner. There are also some loose mattresses that can be used. There are 4 pillows and duvets, but you have to bring your own bed linen. For groups larger than 4, sleeping bags are required.

There are casseroles, frying pans, cutlery etc. for 6 people in the cabin. There is also a propane cooking apparatus and wood oven. Fire wood is stacked in the outhouse. There is no running water or electricity in the cabin, but the water in the lake next to the cabin tastes better than any water you can buy in the store.

Additional information:
There is no GSM coverage near the cabin, but coverage some spots in the mountains Three boats are included in the rent. In Mellavatn is a 14 feet aluminum boat with outboard engine. In Kalvkruvatn there are two 12 feet aluminium boats. 

Key to a road block on the construction road and to the cabin, is given to you at the guest house Nams-inn, located about 10 km south of the construction road.
