31. Gangdal - Grønrimb

( Information in English? Look below the Norwegian information )

Skildring av tur

I Gangdal, gå gardsvegen opp i tunet. Rett ovanfor husa er det skilta, og stien følgjer dalen heilt opp til stølen Grønrimb. Først gjennom granskog, så litt furu- og bjørkeskog, før du etterkvart kjem over skoggrensa. God sti, men nokre våte og glatte parti langs bekken. Frå Grønrimb er det fire andre ruter ned att til hovudvegen. Det er også umerka sti austover mot Daurmålsdalen.

Råd for turen

- Ta med mat, drikke og vindtette klede.
- Du bør ha fjellstøvlar, men har det vore tørt ei stund kan du også bruke joggesko.
- Mobildekning er ikkje god på heile turen. Vi anbefaler kart og kompass, ev. GPS.
- Det er bandtvang 1. april – 20. august.
- Det er forbode med open eld i skog og mark 15. april - 15. september.
- Til fots kan du ferdast fritt i utmark, men ver varsam og ta omsyn til dyr og fuglar, og til naturen elles. Ikkje kast søppel.

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 5.6 km you come to Gangdal. The information board and hiking signs marking the route to Grønrimb are on the left-hand side of the road. If arriving by car, find a spot along the main road to park. Parking at own risk.

Description of the hike:

Take the farm road up towards the farmhouse. Find the hiking sign just above the buildings. The path follows the valley all the way up to the mountain cabins at Grønrimb. At the start you pass through a spruce forest after which a lesser pine and birch wood takes you up to the tree line. The path is good, although you might find some wet and slippery bits close to the stream. At Grønrimb 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.
