Car parking facilities are not good – either park off the main road or up at the farm, in which case be sure to ask the owners for permission. Parking at own risk.

Follow the road past the farm buildings and onto a farm track. Please remember to re-close any gates you might have opened. After passing the houses at Dalen there is a hiking sign showing the route. The path rises in varied degrees until reaching the mountain cabins at Klepp. From here on the route continues comfortably through the woodlands (some parts are muddy) until you reach the gravel road which ends up at the information board by the lake at Vassenden.
