Enjoy a great round trip. It's nice to be able to start in such a beautiful hiking terrain and come to an old seat, the big stone and another seat. Here you can stop and enjoy the food and drink you've brought with you. The hike then goes up the mountain, again with fantastic views on all sides.

The hike starts in fine hiking terrain on a path/old cart road before reaching an old seat, the large stone and another seat.

Nice to take breaks along the way and enjoy snacks and drinks.

The climb up to the summit awaits with a fantastic view, now it's time to take some photos.

The start of the descent is a little steep in some places, but there are ropes to hold on to for those who need them.

A stop at Venelitjørni is part of the tour. Here you'll find swimming and fishing opportunities, a picnic area with a fire pit, rest hut and outhouse.

Enjoy one of Vrådal's best organized hiking destinations. Remember to pay tolls on the way up to the parking lot.
