Veslehødn
This spectacular hike is suitable for both adults and children.
Veslehødn 1060 - 1300 m
This hike is really worth the sweat. Along the way you can see the 140-meter high waterfall Hydnefossen, exit at Kjerringkjeften, a gap that looks like an old lady's mouth or take one refreshing bath in Hødnetjedne. The trip can be combined with Storehødn if you want a little bit longer trip.

How to get there
From the town centre: Follow Rv 52 east towards Gol, after approx. 9 km, turn right to Torsetstølane. Turn left at the next intersection and follow the toll road (card payment) which turns up to the right to Torsetstølane. Just above the forest border, turn right and continue until the road stops at the Hornslie parking.
Parking
Parking at Hornslie.
Safety
- A topographic hiking map may be handy.
- Always choose hikes based on your ability and current conditions. The weather changes quickly in the mountains.
- It is very steep at the edge, so be careful if you approach.
Tip
For a slightly longer and tougher trip, combine with the Topp20 trip to Storehødn/Storehorn.
Also, on your way to or from the hike, drive along Hødnesvegen, which runs just below Hydnefossen, for the best view of the waterfall.
Description
Great trip for the whole family. After a short steep section at the beginning, the hike takes you into beautiful high mountain terrain. There are also many "secret" spots to experience along the way. Both during the hike and from the top at 1,300 m above sea level, you get a great view of the entire valley and surrounding mountains.
