Kamkaka is a local pride that has been baked for generations. During the Kamkake Festival, you can see the bakers in full action, enjoy coffee and local pastries and buy kamkake to enjoy later. Everything takes place at Gammelskolen (the old school) in Bleikvasslia.

In 2017, Bleikvassli Bygdelag was awarded the “Olavsrosa” for the great work they do with “Sørfjelltunet”, which consists of Gammelskolen in addition to Køtaplassen and the Children’s Nature Park.

Klemetspelet is a large outdoor performance that has so far been arranged every other year. The performance is about the Sami Klemet Person who around the turn of the last century lived with his family at the top of Leirskardalen, under Klemethelleren – not far from Rabothytta by Okstindan. Klemet was a man who both fascinated and frightened. The performance gives a picture of a time and a society that is distant, but also with characteristics of our time. Klemetspelet is carried out in collaboration with Nordland Theater, Åaerjehlsamien Theater and Giron Theater where both professional and local actors participate. In connection with the performance itself, a separate “martna” (market) is arranged; Jamtjordmartnaden, with the re-creation of the old marketplace.

In 2016, Klemetspelet received the American Architecture Prize for its scenery and in 2018 the same scenery received the award “The APDC * IDA (Asia Pacific Design Center + International Design Awards) – Excellence Design Awards for Religious and Spiritual Building”. NRK TV broadcasted the documentary «Bergtatt» about Klemet and Klemetspelet in 2016.

This remarkable cabin, which sits 1,200 meters above sea level at the foot of Okstindan – known as the roof of Northern Norway – has been a haven for mountain enthusiasts and nature lovers for a decade. The anniversary will take place at the cabin itself and will offer cultural elements. The day will also be a tribute to the countless volunteers and contributors who have put in a formidable effort to realize and operate this unique cabin facility.

The program for the day will be published as soon as it is ready. Speeches and cultural elements at the cabin will take place from 1300-1500. There will be a tour with a tour leader that people can follow both up and down that day if they want.

More information about the event will be available in due course on the Hemnes Tourist Association’s website, dnt.no/hemnes. Also follow along on Facebook.
