The hike is very scenic and suits most adults and kids who are used to hiking. It starts at Bjørberg along the old kings road, a gravel road that used to be the postal route between Oslo and Bergen. At the top, 1468 masl, you will find beautiful views of the mountain Hestbottfjellet and the valleys on both sides; Mørkedalen and Bulien.
Bjøberg Høyfjellsgard (mountain farm) is the highest working farm above sea level in Norway. Bjøberg also engages in reindeer husband and at certain seasons you will find many reindeer in the area. If you see any, do not approach and remember to keep dogs on a leash.
Author's advice
There are many alternatives for hiking in this area, if you are up for a longer hike, continue the DNT trail towards Bulien or discover the lakes Ershovdtjernane. If you do leave the marked trails, a compass is recommended in addition to the topographic hiking map.
Turn-by-turn directions
From the parking, follow the old Kings Road for a few hundred meters before turning left towards Bulien, on the red marked DNT trail. After the first kilometres, when you see the lake, the trail splits. The red marked DNT trail continues straight ahead, but you should turn left up the blue-marked trail that takes you to the top of Bjøbergnøse 1468 masl. Return the same way.
Note! Remember to keep dogs on a leash, also in the high mountains.
