Today was another hiking day. This time, unspectacular, without ropes, chains, water crossings, bridges, or flying 😂.
Just a steady climb over the scree, and in perfect weather, too. Compared to previous descriptions, this tour would have to be described as "baby-egg-easy" 😁.

A strenuous hike that is rewarded with a breathtaking 360° panorama.
The mountain hut below the radio mast serves very good waffles. 🧇

Parking costs 150 NOK.

From the well-maintained parking lot of the tourist information office, we headed directly across the road onto the route marked with numerous red T-marks. The trail is well signposted and leads over rocky paths to the summit. There's an elevation gain of approximately 700 meters, which, given the stunning location, is best done in the morning or evening. A definite …

The equipment should also be suitable for this hike, as it is almost exclusively over scree and rocks

Today I went to the Gaustatoppen in Norway with my friends Erik and Morten 🇳🇴. At 1,883 meters, this mountain is one of the highest in Norway, and on a clear day you can see about 1/6 of the country! 😲
