Our region has some 15 000 cabins and second homes, about 11 000 of which are owned by people who live elsewhere in the country. Cabin owners are an important part of our local community, and we are grateful that they shop locally and use local building firms and materials. We know they are happy that the district has a rich cultural life – in fact we top the table measuring the quality of cultural life in Norwegian municipalities, year after year. This is something we are proud to be able to share with visitors to the region.
