Directions
From Steinkjer (City Hall), drive 42 km in the direction Ogndal along RV 762, keeping to the main road right up to large parking lot, krobekken, Norway's geographic midpoint. From here you can follow the winter marked trail in winter to Norway's geographic midpoint, but the last bit from the midpoint to the cabin is not marked.

From Snåsa, take the exit from RV 763 at Breide and drive towards Imsdalen to bomsted Roktdalsvegen. From here follow Roktdalsvegen to Ålnessetra and exit the road. Drive to the parking lot at end of road. The exit is signposted. Follow Skjækerstien from the parking lot in Roktdalen, around Nåvatn and to the cabin. There is a distance of about 12 km. Roktdalen is not ploughed in the winter. On snowy roads, the distance is therefore 21 km.
