In order to provide guests in the Storlien mountains a more pleasant and safer experience, the applicant (nature tourism entrepreneur) wants to build a rest cabin. It will serve as a simple weather shelter for guests, where one can light a fire, arrange simpler taste walks, or just rest for a while. A rest cabin makes it possible to offer activities/products year-round, regardless of weather, and is easily accessible at about 2-3 km distance from the village.
