The Knutshø ridge is directly opposite the famous Besseggen ridge. At the parking lot on the street, the path is briefly described on a sign, but not marked. Since it is very busy in the summer, the path can be seen clearly.
It is sometimes steep, two passages have to be scrambled briefly, but are feasible without problems and without additional equipment. The views of the Besseggen, the Gjendesvatnet, and all the smaller lakes, and the surroundings are beautiful! It is best to finish the ridge on the other side and then take the path in the valley below the river back to the parking lot. This is how you avoid the climbing spots.

A trekking pole is recommended, especially when descending.
