Mysinghålå

Tour destination open all year round. Mysinghålå was a refuge for resistance people during the Second World War, used by the resistance group Vestige IV and others fleeing the occupying power, where sabotage and espionage were carried out against the occupiers.

Mysinghålå was a hangout for resistance fighters during the Second World War. The resistance group Vestige IV stayed in hiding in the outfield of Mysing gård, Helleland, for a period. People who fled from the occupation forces also used Mysinghålå as a hiding place. It was people at the farm Mysing who pointed out this suitable haunt for Vestige IV.

Mysinghålå is the largest of two caves used as a hiding place in the outback. This was furnished with an oven, grill, table and window. The smallest, which was first in use, was not suitable due to its size and infiltration of water. This is not marked on the terrain, but is only a few minutes' walk from Mysinghålå.

From Mysinghålå, espionage and sabotage were carried out against the occupiers. In 1944-45, at most 14 saboteurs and refugees had a place of residence under the slab at Mysing. The hiding place was never found by the Germans.

Today, the road to Mysinghålå is clearly marked. From the E-39 between Helleland and Ualand, follow the road towards Mysing and take the marked trail from the car park. About 40 minutes walk at a leisurely pace.
