Myrseter: a farm from the 1700's

17:21

Myrseter was the last of three cabins visited for my birthday trip. The building is part of a farm built in the 1700's. The main farmhouse is no longer standing but what is now the DNT cabin used to be a working building on Østre Rud farm. The old building consisted of two rooms: a working room and a second cold and dark room to store the milk, butter, and cheese that was made. (More info here in Norwegian.)

Myrseter cabin

The building itself is right beside Drømmen but we were so tired that we didn't get down to see it until our second day there. Some of the wood on the front patio behind the gate had rotted out but hopefully that has been fixed by now! All the beds are in an open area on the second floor and there is no way to get from the second floor to the first without going outside, which I imagine is not ideal in the winter.

Wild strawberries

We opted to take the gravel road on our way home because it had rained so much that 10km in the woods was not going to be fun. It poured rain for part of our walk out but eventually the sky cleared and the sun came out long enough for us to take a break to pick some wild strawberries.

All in all, we had a great weekend. We need to do two night trips more often!
