- Fieldfare Cabin
The Fieldfare cabin is a shelter in the
Tafjord mountains ofNorway , at the northern shore of the lakeHeimste Veltdalsvatnet . Its place is very remote. It takes two or three days by foot on rough ground to get there. The cabin was built by the sabotage team ofJoachim Rønneberg , dropped fromEngland duringWorld War II . They used it as a shelter for more than a year during their sabotage actions. It was build with the over-stock of materials used for civil construction on Heimste Veltdalsvatnet, which were built in the thirties. Actually, these men were the engineers of this lake-regulating project.This hidden cabin is situated under an overhanging rock, to protect it from discovery by aircraft. Some years ago, it was renovated and is open today to the public.
