Northern Lights Chances
An indication, not a promise: aurora activity over this place (NOAA's OVATION model and Kp forecast) times the clear sky in the best three-hour window of the night (MET Norway), dark hours only; the window is named. The next nights rest on the Kp forecast only; the solar wind cannot be forecast that far ahead. The whole region live: our Northern Lights Forecast; every spot at once: the Northern Lights Visibility Map.

This place definitely belongs to one of our favourites. If you want to catch the feeling of being in a lonely small polar station, come here. The Lyngstuva is a hut which was, many years ago, the home of the lighthouse warden. The tiny cabin has been kept by volunteers and it is open to everyone. You can even stay for a night. There is a place to sleep in the loft (bring a sleeping pad), cook your meal on the oven and stare from the window into the sea. This place fits 2-3 persons.
From the added camp spot you have to walk to this place for approximately an hour. When you have gone up to the plateau, continue walking and turn left after you have gone around the hill. If you are not sure how to reach it, hike up the small hill and you will see the cabin and the lighthouse and also the path which will bring you there.
Of course, please leave the hut in good condition. Take care and clean after yourself ;).
