There is an information board at the car park. Proceed 50 m to a river bridge and find the signs marking routes to Vatnasetenuten and Tostøl. This tour describes a round trip, starting in the direction of Tostøl. (The character of the hike is however quite similar if you should choose the opposite direction.) Cross the bridge and follow the trail towards Tostøl. The path is fairly easy with a few short inclines. Stepping stones have been laid out in the muddy places. After about 1 hour you reach the top of Saurdalen and meet a branch in the trail. Here you find markers for Vatnasetenuten and Tostøl. Take the path marked Vatnasetenuten. After a few inclines you come to a ridge with a good view in all directions. Follow the ridge northward until arriving at the top of Vatnasetenuten and the great view there! The hike returns down to Våhaug on an easy path (a bit steep at the start).

Season: May – October/November. You can also use this tour as a ski hike in the winter. However it will then be longer and more demanding because the forest road is not maintained during the winter. The hike will then have to start at the main road.
