This is a gem of a place and is used as a getaway both on day trips and overnight trips. Here, a universally designed lavvo, fire pan and mobi mat have been installed down to the sea, and the path there meets the requirements for a universal design both in terms of surface and width. You will also find universally designed outdoor furniture and benches there. The tour is connected to a walking path of approximately 2 km which also meets the requirements for a universal design.

The Blokkodden Wilderness Museum is an outdoor, cultural history museum with buildings and objects from Southern Sami culture, forestry, agriculture, hunting and fishing. The museum is located in an open-air area by national highway 26 on Drevsjø, and gives an insight into how people have lived in Femundsmarka. Here you can experience how people have lived, worked and lived since the first settlement in the area from the 1600th century until today. Among the cultural monuments in the area are a dozen large kølmile botners, which are believed to be from the middle of the 1700th century. This is also a popular hiking area. An adventure park is under construction at Blokkodden, behind the information house. In 1986, the museum was nominated as a Norwegian candidate for the Council of Europe's museum prize.

The Jyltingsmarka is an area that goes by the name of "mini Femundsmarka" and an eldorado for paddlers and fishermen. At the Glen, there is now a universally designed campsite with a boat launch, wharf, log cabin, fire pit, benches, fishing area and outdoor area. There is a passenger lift on the jetty for free use to get in and out of the boat/canoe. Glen is a good starting point for getting to several lakes in the same area without having to leave the boat or canoe. As it is today, you also get to Lake Halvorsjøen from Glen. The possibilities of expanding this to more lakes will be investigated.

Pioner Multi is a boat with a fold-down bow gate which means that it can easily moor, regardless of the water level or landscape. This bow door also means that you can roll or walk straight onto the boat without high edges and climbing. With a multi meal on board, you suddenly have a wide range of destinations around the lake. A multi mat is a mat that is rolled from the boat out into the landscape and which means that you get a good load-bearing surface regardless of whether it is initially stones, sand or forest floor.
