The reindeer pits have been filled with stone to prevent anyone from falling down in the pits and injuring themselves. |

On a small plain south of Store Nuten, there are traces from a bygone era where a man used to tend to his cow during the summers. Local legend has it that he would bring with him a small churn in which to make butter. A large slab of stone propped up by a number of other stones served as protection against the elements. |
