Welcome to the Trondheim Cabin tournament which is held from 31st of August until the 2nd of September 2018.
The Venue
This is a special kind of tournament that will take place at a beautiful cabin in Norwegian nature. The cabin is simple with no electricity or water, and a gas stove for cooking. It can house up to 25 people, but expect a tight fit if it’s full. It is right next to a lake perfect for swimming, rowing the boat, cooling down from the sauna or even fishing. When it comes to hiking to the cabin it is very easy, as it is only a two-minute walk from the dirt road where we can park. Don’t worry though, there are no cars driving by and disturbing the peace!
Here you can see a picture of the cabin to the left, the sauna in the middle and the wood-shed to the right. Far to the left you can also catch a glimpse of the lake!
More info about the cabin can be found by clicking here.
The tournament will have a natural capacity of 25 participants, where the first to sign up are prioritized.
