→Sleeping on the island: added hut. No.3
2. This one takes a little more effort to get to, but its worth it. It is better suitable for more people and more days then option one is. In the summer of 2014 there was a small gathering of hitchhikers here (10 people?) for about three days. This is a small but proper cabin that has not been used by its owners for a long time. It has a stove, some kitchen utensils and two beds inside, aswell as a table and chairs. How to get there: Kamovear is a fishing village just of the main road about 20 km or so from the north cape. Get out of whatever you're in at the junction from the main road towards the village. Then jump over the side of the road and start heading downhill as if you wanted to take a dive in the freezing waters. At this point you don't see the cabin yet, but you will once you've more or less reached the water. Once you've reached the water the cabin is more or less straight in front of you and you have to walk left, around the bay to get there. the walk from the junction to the cabin is about 30 min across rocky terrain. Note: who the owners actually are is unknown, but yes, it is owned by someone. Take nothing, leave only your footprints. Sadly, a storm took hold of this cozy little cabin last winter and broke some of its windows. The windows have been boarded up with corrugated metal. The cabin is still accessible, but it's a whole less cozy and warm now.
3. There is a small, black hut next to one of the lakes near the E69 shortly after the few - and only - buildings and huts of the Sami people that you can see on your way north from the crossing at Skarsvag. It has one bed and space on the floor for up to 2 people. There are a lot of candles. It used to be very beautiful but now the oven is broken and the last inhabitants left it in a mess (as of 1.1.2020). There is a hole in the floor that is covered with a thick sheet of glass so be careful. The outer of the two doors of the hut is gone and there was a lot of ice that had closed the inner door of but one hitchhiker managed to free enough of the door to get in. There was half a bottle of Vodka inside and some food and firewood. The cross country skies that were there have been brought by one hitchhiker to the hut mentioned in 1. because it is a better spot to sleep in the winter.
