Fieldfare Cabin

The Fieldfare Cabin stands beneath an overhanging cliff near Lake Veltdalsvatnet, serving as both a museum and shelter in the Tafjordfjella mountains.

During World War II in 1944, members of the Norwegian Independent Company 1 constructed this cabin to conduct sabotage operations against German supply lines.

The cabin contains original radio equipment and a reproduction logbook, documenting Norwegian resistance efforts during the Second World War occupation period.

The cabin, managed by the Norwegian Trekking Association, provides four sleeping berths and requires a demanding two to three-day mountain trek for access.

Joachim Rønneberg, who led the reconstruction in 1990, positioned the structure strategically to prevent detection from passing enemy aircraft during wartime operations.
