Information:

How to get there:
Drive north from Dokka towards Nord-Torpa and fork left onto Vestergardsvegen at location N61.00085, E9.97696. Continue this road, it turns into a self serve toll road, until location N60.97328, E9.85093. Park next to the road fork. This is the trailhead.
Route:
There are two obvious routes, follow forest roads either to a point shortly before the west end of lake Langevatn (837m), or one may take the road that runs to the north end of lake Øyangen.
In the first case, proceed south to Turrtind, in the laatter case, follow the ridge that runs up to Turrtind from the west.
Comments:
It was a day with rain showers. My friend Sverre was visiting and he agreed to come along to explore this area. We first went to Turrtind, the ascent took about 50 minutes. Next, we descended the west ridge and crossed north of lake Øyangen in order to take the trail west towards the Røskatthovde top. Much to our surprise this traail turned out to be a forest road. About one hour after leaving Turrtind, we were on top of Røskatthovde.
Finally, we dropped north to the nearby forest road and followed roads back to our car. This return took another 50 minutes making the total trip time about 3 hours.
