33. Kysnes - Grønrimb

( Information in English? Look below the Norwegian information )

Skildring av tur

Starten er 1,5 km oppover ein skogsveg. Turen går først på traktorveg ca 1,5 km. Traktorvegen er ikkje merka. Frå enden av traktorvegen går du vidare i god skogsti, men litt myrlendt. Etterkvart kjem du opp i skoggrensa og terrenget vert flatare. Du må over eit myrområde (Storemyr). Stien er merka rett over myra, men dersom du ikkje har vasstett skotøy kan det vera lurt å gå på høgre sida av myra. Du kjem snart til eit lite vatn, Vesla Raunlivatnet, og går langs vatnet til eit stikryss. (Her kan du gå ned til Grotnes.) Gå mot Grønrimb. Då kjem du ned til Stora Raunlivatnet, og det er ikkje langt att til stølen Grønrimb. Frå Grønrimb er det fire andre ruter ned att til hovudvegen. Det er også umerka sti austover mot Daurmålsdalen.

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 10.1 km you come to Kysnesstranda. On the left-hand side of the road, by the Øykhagen housing estate you can find the information board and hiking signs marking the route to Grønrimb. Turn off onto the forest road. If continuing by car there is a fee (toll) asked. Payment by cash only. After about 1.5 km there’s a sharp bend to the right and a good car park on the left. Parking at own risk. You will find the hiking sign showing the route to Grønrimb.

Description of the hike:

The hike starts on the farm track (which is not marked) and goes 1.5 km up the hill. At the end of the farm track, you continue on a good but partly marshy woodland track. After reaching the tree line the terrain flattens out. The hike comes to a marsh area (Storemyr) and the markers show the route across the marsh. If you don’t have waterproof footwear, it might be better to choose the right side of the marsh. You arrive shortly at a small lake, Vesla Raunlivatnet. The path continues along the lake until it meets with another path. (Here you can choose hiking down to Grotnes.) Continue towards Grønrimb. This will bring you down to Stora Raunlivatnet, which is not far from Grønrimb. There you can choose to move on to four other hikes. (All these have information boards at the main road.) There is an unmarked path going eastward.

Season

May – October/November.
