Saturday trip to Mysinghålå


Inside Mysinghålå, lodging for 12 during ww2
Saturday the whole family and Farmor and Farfar took a hike to Mysinghålå, a famous hideout for the Resistance during World War II. Mysinghålå is just a natural cave, created by the space under huge rocks in the bottom of a valley. While incredibly hard to spot from the outside, the cave is big enough to offer shelter for more than 10 people. The Resistance used the area to transmit messages to England, and were hunted by the German troops in the area. The local farmers provided the secrecy and provisions to ensure the safety of the heroes of the cave.
