shot but sweet round trail with far views towards Bø and the north. This trail starts with a horse track up the the lake Kroktjønn, just before the lake it turns north and you’ll get out of the trees.

Folkestadåsen
Great round trail trough the forest at Bø., Little river, waterfall & lakes. 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.

splendid trail on lifjell. takes you quickly out of the Forrest and up on the mountain plateau. 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.
