Route description:
Continue about 200 meter along the road to find the trail that runs left through
Djupadaalen. Follow this trail just a few meter, then head directly up the south
side of Gaddane. The terrain is very easy and nice to walk. Comments:
I did this trip with my friend Harald.
We started around 0935 and I quickly felt a bit weak in my legs, similar to
a few times earlier when I had been infected with Covid-19. I had returned from
South-Africa earlier in the week. This turned out to be the case as an Anti-Gen test
showed positive Covid the same evening (after the hike). Still, we had a good
hike, arriving at the summit
after about 45 minutes. Good views from this top.
We continued directly downhill to Klepp, then ascended Hædna
on our way back to the car.
