A stone's throw from the E6 at Bjerka is Hemnes Bygdetun. Here, in July 2026, Helgeland Museum will bake and sell kamkakes in Kamkakstua, as well as offer courses in kamkake baking.
Fridays and Saturdays between 11:00 and 15:00, you can see how this traditional pastry is made and hear a little about the history of this local pastry that is baked over an open flame in a very special kamkake oven. Here you can also buy kamkakes to take home, and get advice on which side the butter should be on, whether the kamkaka is best hard or soft, which topping is "inside" to use, whether it should be fine or coarse, etc. In Hemnes, the villages argue about the answer, and in Kamkakstua at Bygdetunet you can read the funny song from Klemetspelet about this.
The offer is open on the following dates:
Friday and Saturday 3 - 4 July
Friday and Saturday 10 - 11 July
Friday and Saturday 17 - 18 July
Friday and Saturday 24 - 25 July
Friday and Saturday, July 31 – August 1
There is almost always a demand for fresh kamkakes, and these can be pre-ordered at # 948 99566.
During the same period as the baking, it will be possible to take baking courses in Kamkakstua by appointment.
Please contact Helgeland Museum on telephone number 948 99566.
For opening hours at Bygdetunet, we recommend checking out the Helgeland Museum website:

During the early summer, the outdoor exhibition about Charles Rabot will be replaced with an exhibition about the history of the Viking ship replica Leif Erikson Viking Ship, which was built on a farm in Hemnes and sailed to the USA exactly 100 years ago.
Welcome 🙂
