About

The hike starts for about 2 km on an unmarked farm track, and then continues on a woodland path. After a while the terrain opens up and starts getting a bit marshy. You can begin to get a good view of the fjord. At the highest point of the hike you meet another path with the markers showing the routes to Grønrimb and to Hammaren. Continue towards Grønrimb and shortly you will arrive at the mountain cabins there. You can choose to continue and move on to tours 31, 32, 33 or 34. All these tours are described on the information board at the main road. There is an unmarked path going eastward which meets with tour 30.

Season: May – October/November.

Tips from locals

Bring food, drinking water and windproof clothing. We advise you to use hiking boots. If it’s been dry for a while you could use trainers/sneakers. We recommend that you bring a map of the area and a compass, or a GPS. Cell phone signals are NOT GOOD during the whole of this hike. Dogs must be kept (by law) on a leash at all times between April 1 and August 20. Open fire is prohibited in the hills and woods between April 15 and September 15. You are free to walk anywhere in the hills and mountains. Take care of the nature and show special consideration to all wildlife. Please do not litter.

Arrival

Follow road 107, going south from Jondal centre. After about 5.5 km take the first road leaving to the right at the roundabout. After another 13.1 km you come to Gausvik. The information board and hiking sign is on the left hand side of the road. If you arrive by car, park on the opposite side of the road, by the turn off to a sawmill. (Please make sure you don’t obstruct access to the fuel tank there.) Parking at own risk.
