    Hiking

    Maintained DNT hut on the Hardangervidda. Probably the first hut with catering that the DNT built (1879). Krækkja can be easily reached from Rv 7 (about 1.5 hours from Fagerheim or Halne) and is a great start (or destination) for a round trip through the Hardangervidda.

    Mountaineering

    The DNT Fjällstation Krækkja is a full-board hostel during the season, where you can sleep and enjoy breakfast and dinner, as well as various other items during the day, such as cakes/waffles and soup. It's also a great place to take a break.
    Krækkja is the oldest cabin on the Hardangervidda plateau, having opened in 1879. The cabin is beautifully situated by Lake Storkrækkja with a view of Hallingskarvet. Families with children, retirees, cabin hikers, and day trippers all come here.
