Great hike in the Solholmfjell Nature Reserve. Rocks, lichens, and a black grouse. Not my last time in the region. There's still a network of hiking trails to explore. Absolutely quiet, no other hikers around. It's also great to walk over the rocks, at least when it's dry.

The first half, on the Jernwerk side, is easy and flat. At the end of the lake, it gets quite steep, but it's all gravel. The other side of the lake is definitely more challenging, and there's even a small scramble near the end.
