About DNT

Pre-order

It is mandatory for all guests to book in advance. At most of the forest cabins, there is a booking of single beds, but some are rented out as a unit. You can easily make pre-booking of the forest cabins yourself on this website.

NOTE! You can be held financially responsible in the event of vandalism/destruction and lacking/poor cleaning of the cabins!

Cancellation

Cancellation deadline in the forest is 5 days before the day of arrival for a full refund.
You can easily make cancellations yourself by logging in to My Page in our booking system.

Before you go on a trip:

Reserve a place and prepay for the forest cabins on our website.
Remember the key! (NB! Only members have the opportunity to deposit on the key).
- The standard key fits most self- and unserviced DNT cabins throughout Norway, and all in Marka except Fuglemyrhytta, which has a code. Order DNT key
Bed linen or bed linen is mandatory in the beds.
You have to bring your own food.
Important messages about the cabin/water conditions etc. can be found on UT.no, on each cabin's page.

Rules of well-being when you are at the cabin

Rental period: Booked cabins are available from 2 pm on arrival day to 2 pm on departure day (on Gressholmen Starboard and Port from 3 pm to 12 noon, Fuglemyrhytta, Langøyene and Driver's House from 2 pm to 11 am).
NOTE! Fuglemyrhytta, Hovdehytta, Huldreheim and several other cabins are popular day trip destinations, so you must be able to expect a visit from hikers during the day.
The cabin protocol is filled in when you arrive at the cabin, even if you have booked in advance.
Read the information binder you will find at the cabin.
Check the smoke detector on arrival.
Use a linen bag or your own bed linen. Sleeping bags are not allowed!
Shake the duvet and pillow after use and make the bed.
Fire in the oven with reason. The transport of firewood to the cabins is heavy and expensive. The firewood is only intended for use in the stove/fireplace. Lay out kindling wood for the next person before you leave.
The cabin's wood storage must not be used for a fire outside.
Reduce the risk of fire when using candles. Do not place candles under wall cabinets in kitchens or near curtains. Tealights are not used due to the risk of fire.
Dogs have access to Drømmen, Røverhula, Lille Tømtehytta, Røyrivannskoia, Jørgenhytta, Sandbekkhytta and Vikkelihytta.
There must be quiet between 23:00 and 06:00.
The smoke detector must be connected during the entire stay.
Smoking is only allowedt outdoors. Help keep it nice outside the cabin and throw the cigarette butts in the oven.

On departure

The cabin is cleaned before departure.
All rooms that have been in use are cleaned. This also applies to the toilet.
Make sure that all water is emptied out, all windows closed and all utensils taken in.
Check that the woodshed is locked.
Food leftovers and rubbish (including empty bottles) must be taken home. Food scraps attract mice.
Day visitors have access to the outdoor areas by the cabin.
- Day tourists pay for their stay if they use the cabin for cooking or fire up the oven. Day tourists leave the cabin by 6 p.m. if overnight guests have arrived. Day visits are valid until 6 pm, and in case of later use, payment is made as for accommodation.
