A view that leaves you almost speechless! Very nice to see are also the small "lakes" that have formed on the mountain.
Good footwear and sure-footedness are absolutely necessary!

The Dingja lake has such beautiful clear water. Whether you can swim here, however, is questionable because of the cold for me.

As a newbie to hiking, especially in mountains, it was a bit more difficult. You should definitely be fit. And take a compass with you!

The hike is beautiful, but the circular route should not be underestimated. I personally prefer to walk the hike clockwise. I prefer to go up the steep, almost vertical part through the forest to Dalevatnet, going down would be too dangerous and too slippery for me because of the moss.
