Trails in Vestvold og Telemark

Vestre Nuke

This trail always dries up early as the slopes face south-west and are in the perfect angle for the sun. It’s a short round just under 5 km and even thou its steep it runs quite quickly. There is always a little flat part or a bend that gives you time to recover a little in between the steeps.

Bjørgefjellet

Trial that dries up early with a fantastic view down to Seljord. Great to run, starts on a wider atv path that slowly becomes a single track, one little minus is that some parts are almost to steep to run down.

Luberg

Short but steep run up to a little rocky plateau with far view over the forest around. Forest,wetlands & lots of blueberries.

Røysdalsnuten

Round trip on marked trails up to the highest peak in the Lifjell Area and down over Tjorbu. Well marked trails all the way up to the top of Røysdalsnuten (marked with painted red T’s and dots on the rocks & even some wooden stakes here and there).

Heksefjell – Blåtjønnfjell

Off the grid trails if you don’t want to see another soul on your run. Mainly little to unmarked or no trails at all in some parts. First part from the cabins is marked with blue pieces of rope hanging in trees.

Bletoppen

Great double eight shaped round trough typical Norwegian highland scenery on mainly marked DNT trails.

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.

Gygrestolen

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.

Sudbø – 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.

Røyte-Jøronnatten-Holmen (Lifjell)

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.
