About

Go passed the farm buildings and through a gate. The hike is initially on a woodland path until you reach the mountain cabin at Smaladalen. From here on it’s more of a highland terrain with a good view of the fjord. You are now about half way and the path flattens out but gets marshier. After passing the lake, Lomavatnet the trail continues steeply down to Vesla Raunlivatnet. (Here you can move on to tour 33, which takes you down to Kysnes.) Continue towards Grønrimb. This will bring you down to Stora Raunlivatnet, which is not far from Grønrimb. There you can choose to move over to tours 31, 33, 34 or 35 (All these have information boards 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. Good cell phone signals covering most of the 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. Ask the Tourist Information («Juklafjord») regarding angling/fishing and the purchase of fishing permits.
