Preview of the hike
The hike will start with a beautiful bridge and short walk through the forest. Then you will climb up the hill and just before the sign of the national park, you will have a beautiful view of the river on the right. You will continue climbing further up the hill and will come to some less steep paths. You will come to a sign that shows the loop track, but also another track towards Granneset fjellgård. If you follow the other track for approximately 100 m, you will see a small path to the left towards a beautiful viewpoint of the waterfall. After the viewpoint, you can go further to the hut, or go back and continue the loop track.
When you continue the loop, you will end up crossing the river over the second swing bridge. Be alert, there is a sign that the bridge is only made for one person at the time! This is also the case for the following bridges. You will end up at Bredek fjellgård, where you can sit down and rest for some time. You will continue the path and walk through a beautiful forest, with some small paths and muddy ground. Afterwards, you will cross another bridge. For one of the next bridges, you need to go down on a steep path that can be slippery. After crossing the bridge, you need to climb up again on the hill on a rocky climbing path. The last part of the trail will become easier to walk. For the full experience, you will have to walk it yourself, have fun !
