About

Take the farm track up towards Storemyr. Take a right turn where the track forks and follow for about 100 m. A hiking sign shows the route which now continues on a path. From here on and to Gjetingshaugen it can be a bit marshy in parts. Good view down towards Øvre Krossdalen.

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 the whole 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

You will see the hiking sign for Gjetingshaugen. Park here if arriving by car. Parking space is not good. Please make sure you don’t obstruct other traffic. Parking at own risk.
