Cabin description

Route description

With public transportation, you have several options. The shortest route is from Brøttem, but there are no buses here on Saturdays and Sundays. During the weekends, you can take a bus or train to Ler or Lundamo. From Ler, it’s about 20 km to the cabin, while from Lundamo it’s a few kilometers longer. The route from Ler follows road and gravel path all the way to the cabin and may be well-suited for cycling. The routes from Brøttem and Lundamo involve pathless forest and marsh terrain along the way.

A trip to Nicokoia Friday afternoon starts normally from Brøttem. From here you cross Selbusjøen and follow the road ca. 500 meters where it crosses Brunga. Then you go steep up in direction south until you find the road again. In winter it might be easier to follow the road, even if that means some extra meters. You continue on the road and pass Lekås on the way up to Blestertjørnin. Here you go in direction south on the eastern side of Blestertjørnin, over a small hill and towards a stream. Follow the stream on the west side towards Teigavollen, here it's easier to go.

Next to Teigavollen there is the old alp road through Brungmarka. Summertime this is a good path, wintertime there is marked scootertrack on it. You follow it to Dalsvollen. Five hundred meters behind the houses you go up in Lokdalen and follow the edge of Litlfjellet towards Langlandsvollen where the cabin is situated ca. 100m in east direction from the alp houses. Langlandsvollen can be difficult to see if you come from north.

A shorter trip is it to come from south. Here you need a car to drive in the road to Håen from Lundamo. It is open also in winter. From Håen you go towards Granhaugvollen and continue to Sæterbekken, pass Steinskjørka and go towards Såmmåran. From here stay east of the marches and go up to Langlandsvollen which is easy to see from this side.

In summer it's also possible to drive in from Fremo. Then you pass Teigavollen and come in the alp road from there.

If you don't want to go back the same way, you can e.g. go to Støren and take bus or train from there. For that you have to go down to Håen, cross Gammelåsen and go down to Tilsetvollen, Follstadvollen, Vollsvollen and Høstvollen. Here you will find a road to Støren. Quite nice on skis, but also nice during the rest of the year.

NB: There is no path most of the way, so you need to bring with you map and compass. (As you always have to do on cabin trips.) It is a long walk to the cabin, so you need to use skies in winter times.

Degree of difficulty

	1)	For beginners. These cabins are easy to find and a road is going all the way to the cabin. You should anyhow be familiar with map and compass.
	2)	For those with some experience. Characteristic for this category is that the cabins are not far from the nearest road and that the terrain is simple to walk in.
	3)	For experienced users. These cabins are situated farther from the nearest road and require good orienteering skills. May be exposed to the weather during winter.
	4)	For ambitious users. What distinguishes these cabins from level 3 is that the terrain is more demanding on the way to the cabin, as well as that they can be hard to find.
	5)	Demanding. The trip requires that you are familiar with the mountains and are well equipped. Long walking distance and weather conditions might be challenging.
