Secret cabin in the woods above Seljord
Description
Travel back in time and enjoy the peace and quiet that this cozy cabin has to offer. It is located in the forest at a height above Seljord in beautiful Telemark with no other cabins around. From the (free) parking space you must walk 1, 2 km unmarked roads and trails which are sometimes steep and demanding. If you like to hike and surround yourself with nature you will love this cabin. Pack efficiently, put on some good shoes and enjoy! The space In Norwegian a small cabin with only one room is called a "koie". It took me a while to find the right one for me. I wanted a place where I could get the feeling of being truly alone in the forest even though it is not too far away from the parked car. Rarely anyone passes this cabin except for moose or other animals. There are many viewpoints close to the cabin where you can watch the sunset and in clear nights you can watch the starry sky. There is a small lake 2 km away. This is the perfect place to relax and recharge. The cabin is 16 square meters and separated by a short wall which gives you a sleeping nook in one corner. A sofa is compiled out of to beds on top of each other so it will fit 4 friends or a family. Bring pillow and duvet covers (140x200 cm) and sheets (200x80 cm). You should also bring a hand and a kitchen towel. There is a well equipped kitchen (see pictures) where you can make press or drip coffee and even foam your milk. There is some oil, sugar, salt and pepper available. You can make pizza 🍕 in an Ooni pizza oven outside (max 30 cm). There is no regular power or water, but you can charge your phone and use reading or cooking lights as there is solar powered electricity (use this sparingly). In the shed there is a fridge to cool your food in the summer, and a Cinderella incinerator toilet (this should not be used for pee😉 as incinerations drains the electricity). There is also a classic outhouse. Drinking water is filtrered from a stream. Washing water is collected from the roof and then boiled or cleansed with a tablet. Guest access Use the drawers in the dresser if you want. Other things to note Bring duvet covers, sheets, hand and kitchen towels. Bring drinking water for the hike up to the cabin as you will get thirsty along the way. Filtering water may take a couple of hours. You can also boil water from the stream. Bring an extra shift of clothes as you will probably get warm on your hike up. ;)
