35. Gausvik - Grønrimb

( Information in English? Look below the Norwegian information )

Skildring av tur

Frå Gausvik går turen først på umerka traktorveg ca. 2 km. Du går vidare på skogsti. Seinare er terrenget meir ope og litt myrlendt, og etterkvart er det fin utsikt over fjorden. På høgste punktet på turen kjem du til eit stikryss. Her er det skilta Grønrimb og Hammaren. Du går møt Grønrimb og etter kort tid er du på stølen Grønrimb. Frå Grønrimb er det fire andre ruter ned att til hovudvegen. Det er også umerka sti austover mot Daurmålsdalen.

- Vi anbefaler kart og kompass, ev. GPS.
- Det er bandtvang 1. april – 20. august.

Starting point/parking:

Follow the road, going south from Jondal centre. After about 5.5 km take the first road leaving to the right at the roundabout. After another 13.1 km you come to Gausvik. The information board and hiking sign is on the left-hand side of the road. If you arrive by car, park on the opposite side of the road, by the turn off to a sawmill. (Please make sure you don’t obstruct access to the fuel tank there.) Parking at own risk.

Description of the hike:

The hike starts for about 2 kmon an unmarked farm track, and then continues on a woodland path. After a while the terrain opens and starts getting a bit marshy. You can begin to get a good view of the fjord. At the highest point of the hike, you meet another path with the markers showing the routes to Grønrimb and to Hammaren. Continue towards Grønrimb and shortly you will arrive at the mountain cabins there. You can choose to continue and move on four other marked tours. (All these have information boards at the main road.) There is an unmarked path going eastward.
