Spectacular Views from a Birdbox Above Nordfjorden

My little sister and I headed to a birdbox high above Nordfjorden for peace, colour displays and spectacular views through the round window.

Micro cabin

The trip took us to Birdbox Lotsbergskaara, where we spent a couple of days in May. I brought my little sister along.

The goal of the trip was to enjoy the fantastic, picturesque view, read a book, relax and have a cosy time in the quiet and peaceful atmosphere the birdbox had to offer. It was an extra nice touch that we also got to celebrate Norway's Constitution Day on 17 May in a beautiful, typically Norwegian landscape, which we truly experienced here.

Where we stayed

Our Stay in the Birdbox at Lotsbergskaara

The stay at the cabin was truly wonderful. Once we had found the cabin's location and made our way up the little path to the birdbox itself, we were greeted by spectacular views, a cosy tray with tea, coffee and snacks, and an incredibly elegant and inviting interior.

And then there's the round birdbox window. Wow! Through it we could see the fjord with the snow-capped mountains, and we enjoyed a range of different colour displays over the days we were there. On the first day we had a beautiful sunset with reddish and pink tones. Whatever the weather, the view here will be spectacular. There were plenty of clouds during our stay, and it made absolutely no difference.

What I loved most

What I Loved Most

You can't avoid mentioning the view, as it makes up 90% of the concept of this cabin. And it is nothing short of spectacular.

Things to do

More to Experience Around Lote and Nordfjorden

The area offers beautiful nature, so hikes like Lotsbergnibba are great for getting some activity in during the stay. The cabin owners also have a partnership with Nordfjord Hotel, where guests can get a discount at the spa.

Along the fjord there are several lovely spots where you can go and enjoy a packed lunch, a book or simply the view. Good food and drink can also be enjoyed on the terrace of the cabin itself, and a good book can be read with the fabulous view as a backdrop, either from the bed or from the chair. We couldn't get enough of this view!

Tips from Karianne

Three Things I'd Tell a Friend

Plan meals without a kitchen
Plan meals without a kitchen
The cabin has no kitchen, so good meal ideas that don't require cooking equipment or heat are a smart move. We made sandwiches with pesto, mozzarella, cured ham and tomato, and put together a charcuterie board with cured meats, fruit, berries and baguette.
Bring extra water
Bring extra water
There is no running water. There is a water container and a few bottles in the fridge, but bring some extra water and drinks, especially if you're staying more than one night.
It's beautiful all year round
It's beautiful all year round
This cabin offers fantastic experiences year round. We visited in May, but I can only imagine how beautiful it is in its autumn or winter colours.
