29. Breidsete - Glomsdalsskardet

( Information in English? Look below the Norwegian information )

Skildring av tur

Frå Breidsete, gå ca 100 m nedover bilvegen og til venstre over ei bru. Stien går i småkupert skog og myrlendt terreng, forbi nokre hytter og ned til Torsnesmyrane, til eit stikryss. (Der kan du gå over til Fjellstøl). Gå mot Fjelltveit. Stien går langs kanten av myrane, vekselvis i skog og myrlendt terreng. Du må over ei lita elv, og ved snøsmelting og mykje nedbør kan det vera vanskeleg å koma tørrskodd over. På stølen Fjelltveit kjem du til ei bru. (Ved brua kan du gå mot Torsnes). Gå mot Glomsdalsskardet. Du følgjer Glomsdalen til Skaratjødna. Bratt og vilt terreng i høgfjellet. (Det går sti vidare til Nordrepollen, men den er ikkje merka av oss).

Starting point/parking:

Take the road from Jondal towards Folgefonna. After 2.6 km (just before the bridge at Byrkjeland) leave the main road on a right-hand fork. If you continue by car this is a toll road. The pay point is 300 m further up the road. After about 1.5 kmyou come to a narrow bridge crossing the river at the intake for the Stølsdalselva power plant at Byrkjeland, which was opened in 2009. If you must open the gate at the end of the bridge, please remember to close it again after passing. The road continues another 2.2 km up to the cabins at Breidsete.

There is an information board and a good car park. Parking at own risk. The information board at Breidsete gives information about all the hikes which start or stop here.

Description of the hike:

From Breidsete, walk 100 m down the road from the car park and sharply down to the left on a path which crosses the river at the bridge. The path undulates through woods and marsh, past some cabins and onwards to a path junction at Torsnesmyrane. (Here you can change over to tour marked Fjellstøl). Continue towards Fjelltveit.

The path is around the edge of the marsh, partly in the woods and partly marsh. At one point you must cross a stream. This might mean having to wade during the snow melting or after heavy rainfall.

On arriving at the mountain cabins of Fjelltveit you can find the hiking signs at the bridge. (Here you can change over to tour marked Torsnes.) Continue towards Glomsdalsskardet. You follow up the Glomsdalen valley. The final incline up to the lake, Skaratjødna is increasingly steep and takes you up to the wild mountains. (There is a path going on and down to Nordrepollen but it’s not marked by us.)

Season:

July – October/November.
