Very cozy accommodation, fully equipped kitchen, great shower, and even a boot dryer. The welcome was very warm, and the cottage is spotlessly clean 👌

We were served a typical Norwegian meal here: a soup with potatoes, meatballs, pieces of meat and carrots. Then came a delicious dessert. Tasty and filling. The lady of the house was dressed in a traditional dress. She also told us that they would stop receiving pilgrims 1 week later... (date of this letter is 08-08-2024).
