A nice grassy spot with easy access to the water for a swim. The cabin offers shelter if the weather turns. Here you can also find public toilets and water.

Stikkvannshytta Cabin, or as it is commonly referred to as 'Stikkvann Cabin', is a very popular outdoor hub for outdoor enthusiasts. It is set on the shores of Stikkvannet Lake in the Hurum forest in rather idyllic, scenic surroundings. It doesn't matter what your sport is, hiking, jogging, or winter skiing; the hut makes for a good rest stop for food or for a swim in the lake during summer months.

Beautiful, somewhat hidden shelter with a fireplace and toilet block. The lake is clean and is used by canoeists for training. You can safely spend the night here. The only drawback: at night you can hear the highway rushing on the other side of the lake.

Shelter with fire pit. It is possible to swim in the lake. During the day some noise from the highway on the opposite side of the lake (depending from the wind direction). Some rowers on the lake :)

However, nothing for cyclists (!), because it goes over a very uneven, rocky path. Couldn't even try. But definitely nice to walk :) Not suited for bike packers(!) as it's only reachable via a rocky, uneven path. Couldn't even give it a try. Probably still nice on foot :)

Super beautiful gapahuk. Fire pit, hygiene facilities, views and sleeping are wonderful and everything is clean. The prices are now NOK 60 for one person and NOK 120 for 2-3 people. Absolute recommendation!
