"An easy hike with a fantastic view".
You start the hike by a gravel road past a small mountain lake the trail turn up into the forest. 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. There is a wooden frame on the top toward the waterfall that makes the perfect picture spot!
