Krogels House

Highlight • Mountain Hut

You can choose to go for a nice trip on Skallerund lake (about 2 km) or a longer walk in the forest.
But there is also the possibility of parking close by - so walking difficulties can also be included.

Great place, 2 big and one smaller shelter. There's firewood (although not that much), big place for eating that's covered in case of rain, grills for the fire, and a playground for the kids. Even a toilet, although it's hard to locate
