Poestien («Poem Path») is a 6.1 km round trip, taking you on road and farm roads around the village of Øvre Krossdalen. Being a round trip, you can choose the starting point and direction yourself. The information board showing details for hiking tours 11 – 19 is at the crossroad to Folgefonna. There is a guest book in a box at the Kvåle school building. You will find mounted poems at all the resting places along the route. The trip is suitable for baby wheelers etc. A short part of the route is on a farm road, but otherwise the trip is on firm ground.

Season: The poestien hike is possible throughout the year, although during the winter there are parts which are not cleared for snow
