Easy route for the whole family, also with a stroller, as there is a gravel road all the way to the top. Cute small flowers and berry bushes along the way.
At the top, 804 m above sea level, you have a good view over all of Hemsedal, both east and west. You can see large parts of the ski resort, Fyri resort, Skarsnuten, and the whole Hemsedal center.
The masts at the top are link stations for TV, radio, telephony, and broadband.
Note! There are grazing animals in the area, so remember to close gates behind you and keep your dog on a leash. (Extended leash requirement in Hemsedal from April 1 - October 31.)
Author's advice
Just before the gravel road ends at the top, there is a small path down to the left that leads you to a nice seating area perfect for enjoying the view.
Turn-by-turn directions
From the parking lot, follow the gravel road uphill. After almost 1 km, at the end of a longer flat section and before the road goes downhill again, turn right through the gate (remember to close it behind you!). Follow the gravel road to the end and then the last meters on a path to the viewpoint. Return the same way.
