The trail goes up Nupsdalen and has some steep parts at the start and end of the valley. Along the lakes its mostly flat, providing some nice revitalizing breaks in between the slopes.

Astridnatten
Round trip up Astridnatten. First half part up to the top is on a marked trail. Decent goes on a older trail slightly overgrown but a fine and dandy gradient down Kvigedalen.

From the edge at Gygrestolen you can see far towards the North over the forests, town of Bø, and the Lifjell mountains. My recommendation would be to get up there close to sunset as the ledge faces pretty much directly in the sunsets direction. Legend tells that when the stone pinnacles fall (yes they move a few mm each year) they will drop in the lake below and flood all of Eikjabygda.

Continue readingSudbø – Fentenuten – Bossnuten -Sandsetvatn
Long trail that takes you troug some really nice landscape with wide views in all direction. The mountain rage towards Bossnuten has many small valleys and stony cliffs that create some amazing scenery. Trials are hard to follow, and unmarked. I would recommend to bring a good map and prepare well for this route in advance. After you’ve passed bossnuten you have a long flat stretch over open plains all the way to Sansetvatn.

Trail is steep all the way until Langetjønn. after the lake you get a little flat part before the final incline up Jøronnatten. Down past the lakes of Holmen where there is an old dam at the end which was used to send waterflow down the mountains at certain periods to help log driving in the valley rivers below.
