The old homestead that originally was from 1858 was rebuilt, along with a forge and «Lapplistua» by the organization Lapplias Venner. Here you can also find a life-sized wooden sculpture of the Lapplibull. And the story about the Lapplibull is something you can read about when you get there.
Lapplistua is unlocked year-round, so you can just walk inside the cabin, light a fire, and enjoy a packed lunch while looking out at the beautiful view of the valley below.
If you’re able, any donation for maintenance fees of Lapplia to Lapplias Venner through Vipps 518735 would be greatly appreciated.
