- Round trip
The trail starts & ends at the Folkestad Barnehage (kindergarden).
first couple of hundred meters is on a atv track but you’ll soon turn left towards Dasneberget/Bø camping on a nice little single track. This brings you to the main road. there is a little sign with a map, just left of the map a new marked trail starts towards Trytetjønn – Høgfoss.
Follow the marking and signs all the way towards Høgfoss(kåsa). you’ll cross a gravel road just before you reach the waterfall Høgfoss. If you follow along the cliffs edge after the waterfall you’ll reach a little spot where another river joins the stream. There is a stony riverbed and a little deeper section in the water this is a great spot for a break or a swim. the spot is called “Åmøtet” ion the map.
From here you follow the trail to Brukåsa. The trail towards the lake of Trytetjønn goes behind the barn and up the hill. (it’s not marked but you’ll find it along the edge of the field about +-60-100m behind the structure). This brings you up to the gravel road again.
On the opposite side of the road a wider marked trail takes you to Trytetjønn where you take the trail to the left allong the north side of the lake. Follow this trail until you reach an large opening in the forest on some large slabs of rock. Here you follow the trail to Mogan.
Follow the blue markes all the way until you hit the gravel road, just 50 meters to the right on the gravel road a marked trail goes back into the forest towards Trytetjønn. after 1km or so there is a sign “Bustadfelt” (follow the left trail just after the crossing with the sign) that takes you back to the start point.
Well marked with signposts on almost all corners & blue bots on trees. Small part of trail from Brukåsa (the barn at the river) up to the gravel road is not marked. A signpost is pointing in the direction but no blue marks.
The whole trail is good to run, both wide ATV tracks and single track trails.
- Shorting it by running straight ahead when you reach the lake of Trytetjønn. Cuts the loop towards Mogan. (blue line in the map)
This round has a river with a waterfall, some open forest, part with marches & a lake. There is this part on the trail towards Høgfosskåsa where the whole forest bed is just covered with bright green mosses.
- Parking space for several cars at the end of the road past the kindergarden (barnehagen).
- There is a large waterpark close by so during summertime it might be hard to get a parking space so you might have to park a little further away.
- also possible to park (4 cars or so) close to ‘Høgfoss’ where the most northern part of the trail crosses the grave road in the map.
