The Hike to Woodnest

The hike can take about 35-60 minutes, depending on fitness levels and weather. It is steep and can be slippery when wet, so we would strongly recommend bringing good hiking shoes and suitable clothes. You will also find snow spikes in the garage that you can slide on under your shoes in case of snow and ice. Remember to remove them before entering the treehouse. Large parts of the trail consists of stairs of wood, stone and aluminium, and uneven ground. There are not a lot of railings to hold on to.

Directly opposite the garage, on the other side of the road, is the start of the path that will lead you to the treehouses. There you can see a Woodnest sign and some wooden stairs, and if you follow the stone steps and power lines up and into the forest, you will come to the Woodnest forest. The path is marked with poles and the Woodnest logo.

When you reach the top of the large wooden staircase, follow signs to Blackwood to your left.

If the weather is really bad, or you do not think you will be able to do the full hike; you can halve the hike by contacting the local taxi company, Odda Taxi at +47 53631444. The taxi can drive you from the garage to a turning point higher up for about 150 NOK. You will need to organise this yourselves and ring them in advance. From the drop-off point you can enter the path next to the water tank. Follow the silver stairs into the forest.

Food at Woodnest

The Lovenest Platter is the only food service we offer, and only if you ordered this. This will be placed in the treehouse at check-in.

For an authentic Norwegian cabin-tradition, we recommend bringing groceries to make your own meals during your stay. Keep in mind that the kitchen space is small with two stovestops but no oven, and all you need of pots and pans. You would want to keep it simple, but tasty:)

There are several local grocery stores in downtown Odda where you can get what you need for your stay. If arriving on a sunday or a "red day", the local grocery stores might be closed, so we recommend planning ahead.
