Fieldfare Cabin

Fieldfare cabin (Fieldfarehytta) is a shelter built during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany.

[1] The cabin was built during the spring of 1944 by the sabotage team of Joachim Rønneberg, Birger Strømsheim (1911-2012) and Olav Aarsæther (1918- 2006) of the Norwegian Independent Company 1 (Kompani Linge) as part of Operation Fieldfare in Sunnmøre (Fieldfare i Tafjordfjellene på Sunnmøre).

Additionally they were to establish a foothold in the mountains close to Dombås, one of the busiest railway-intersections between Oslo and Trondheim.

Situated under an overhanging rock to protect it from discovery by aircraft, they used the cabin as a shelter for more than a year during their sabotage actions.

The cabin was given to the Ålesund and Sunnmøre branch of the Norwegian Trekking Association and is open today to the public.
