Good to know

Well-preserved former lumberjack cabin. Austerity is the rule, due to the surrounding forest atmosphere and the dark color of the shelter. The ground floor has a table, a few chairs, a bench and a non-functional stove as it is not connected. A plastic cover over the windows provides adequate insulation. The door can be securely closed from the outside with a handmade wooden latch. However, it cannot be locked from the inside, which may be inconvenient in windy conditions since the door opens outward. An old-fashioned ladder with exposed screws (watch your hands!) leads from inside to the upper floor, which serves as a dormitory. It consists of a wooden floor for 4 people. Candles are provided, but there are no tools for cutting wood, a broom... or a guestbook!
