Description
"An easy hike with a fantastic view".
You start the hike by a gravel road past a small mountain lake before reaching the trail. The trail will from this point become quite steep, so remember to take breaks along the way. The trail goes through a beautiful birch forest with plenty of wildflowers, birds and deer. Keep your eyes peeled for small treasures to bring home. Once you reach the top you will get a fantastic view of the mountain Skogshødn, the waterfall Hydnefossen, Lykkjas lake area and the valley westwards. We recommend bringing a well-packed picnic bag and don't rush to return.
There is a wooden frame on the top toward the waterfall that makes the perfect picture spot!
If you are feeling more adventurous you can continue walking towards the Topp20 peak Geiteberget, also a stunning viewpoint in Hemsedal, and walk Gravsetåsen back to your parking.
