The history of Nythun:
In 1947 Reidar Nythun bought a piece of land at Kruk in Valdres, near the
family's summer farm. He earned the capital for this initial investment by
ploughing fields on the surrounding farms. By 1949 a small red cafe had been
completed.
By 1954 the cafe had been extended with six bedrooms, a diningroom and a lounge.
Reidun came along in 1957 to hire the lodge from Reidar. They were soon an
item and continued running Nythun as a small family hotel. The home-cooked
meals were their trade-mark from the very beginning.
In 1994 their daughter Marit and her husband Jørn took over as hosts
at Nythun. They have continued developing and carefully expanding the hotel
in order to accommodate an increasing number of guests.
