The farm at Kirkflå offers basic accommodation in the upstairs floor of a newly restored smithy. At the farm lives the friendly and helpful hosts, who are always happy to welcome pilgrims.

The smithy has 3 beds on the upstairs floor, but there is also plenty of floor space for sleeping mats. There is also a dining table with chairs.

The smithy has electricity and a small kitchen with a little stove and kitchen utensils. There is a small oil radiator that provides some heat. There is no running water in the building, but you will have access to water. An outhouse can be found at the end of the barn.

The Norwegian Fund for National Heritage Site has made a video that shows the restored building, and the story behind it (in Norwegian).
