Stavskar

The place

Self-service cabin of the Stavanger Turistforening DNT in the protected Setesdal-Ryfylkeheiane landscape area (south-western Norway), at 994 metres of altitude. Built by a team of shepherds in the 1920s, rebuilt in 2004; log construction with fixed beds along the walls (old-style). Six sleeping places in the main room: a double bunk bed below and a single bunk above, plus mattress space in the kitchen for 2-3 people. Well-equipped kitchen with a gas stove, wood stove for heating, duvets and pillows on all beds. Berg in the municipality of Valle is the most commonly used starting point, about a 2 h walk to the cabin. Activities in both summer and winter, a natural stage on the route to Bossbu.
