Hello!
We want to make the cabin a bit more "airy" and are considering opening up a small section on one of the interior walls, as you can see, the nearest one is already opened.
Since it works, there shouldn't be any problem opening up the other one as well?
But we might be thinking incorrectly, and opinions/advice would be great!
Thanks in advance!

As seen in the image, it should be okay, load-bearing walls normally run perpendicular to the roof trusses, which this particular wall does not do based on how the roof slopes. However, since someone left that wall when the nearest one was opened up, I would probably not open it without having a carpenter come and say on-site that it's okay.
There are no trusses as far as I can see.
The fact that there is a larger opening in the wall beside doesn't mean anything. The walls don't need to be identical in construction or function just because they look the same externally.
The walls can carry the roof beam. However, this likely happens with a column directly under it, which means it's not a problem to open up.
However, they can also stabilize laterally. In that case, it is not as obvious that you can make a larger opening.
It is not possible to determine the function of the walls with just that image.
