Utsyn

You can look forward to a spectacular stay with a great view of the sea. The design of the gaphuken makes you feel close to the earth, the sky, the majestic sea and the archipelago, while all the small holes create a light that is constantly changing. Feel free to bring slippers or indoor shoes.

Utsyn can be used for a relaxing evening or overnight stay. There are mattresses on which you can put your sleeping bag, hooks for hammocks or you can order duvets, pillows and bed linen. On cold evenings, it may be a good idea to bring a wool blanket or two.
Enjoy the sunset or the foaming sea through the window of approx. 3x3 meters.
There is no access to water or electricity, but there is a toilet at a distance of approx. 200m.
Please note that there are a lot of sheep on Hågåsen, and traces of them can be found everywhere. Leave the sheep alone and behave calmly around them.
Animals are not allowed inside the shelter.
Remember that there is restraint everywhere.

History

You can look forward to a different kind of accommodation with a great view out to sea.
Hågåsen's Friends have created a new gap hut.
This should be able to be used both as a place where you can sit down and have a cup of coffee and as a place to stay overnight for the family or group of friends. The architect behind the project is Frode Jerdal from Kvinesdal. Gapahuken is designed so that you can both sit outside under cover, and at the same time enjoy the view in cozy surroundings behind a glass wall.

We would like to thank all the contributors who have made it possible to realize this special project! What for a long time seemed almost impossible to achieve would never have happened without them.

First of all, we take our hats off to our wonderful carpenter, constructor and all-rounder Harald Kuven who, based on the architect's drawings, has almost conjured up a unique building, and that in a particularly challenging location!
Big thanks also to landowner Ivar Larsen Fidje, who has let us build Utsyn on his property!

We also thank our financial contributors:

  • Flekkefjord Sparebank
  • Savings bank foundation SR-Bank
  • Flekkefjord municipality
  • Store fire
  • Hellvik House
  • And all those who have helped with donations,
    shipping, carrying assistance and more!
