English version:

Starting point/parking

Take the road from Jondal towards Folgefonna. After 8.0 km turn right just before the bridge. (Close to the road junction is an information board showing details of several tours.) This is a toll road for those continuing by car. The pay point is about 100 m in from the main road.

After about 800 m up take the road junction to the right. You will see the hiking sign for Gjetingshaugen. Park here if arriving by car. Parking space is not good. Please make sure you don’t obstruct other traffic. Parking at own risk.

Description of the hike

Take the farm track up towards Storemyr. Take a right turn where the track forks and follow for about 100 m. A hiking sign shows the route which now continues on a path. From here on and to Gjetingshaugen it can be a bit marshy in parts. Good view down towards Øvre Krossdalen.

Season

May – November.
