Hikers, bikers and backpackers alike all congregate on this staffed DNT hut, just a short walk from the station, on a little peninsula jutting out into the lake. Dorms sleep from three to six people (the smaller ones are perfect for families) and many have super lake views. Nightly meals (395kr) and breakfast (170kr) are better value half-board.
