Fantastic view and really easily accessible with kids due to the built-up stone path from the nearby parking lot. If you want to give the kids the "genuine alpine feeling" before lunch, this is great. Also, really easy to adapt the length of the hike (again, with kids) as you can walk however short or long you want from this point and further along Falkeriset, and turn around and go back. And the scenery never stops being amazing. My first pick for a day hike with kids in the area.

Hiking

The summit of Falkenuten is the perfect reward after the climb up the unique stone path. From up here, a spectacular 360-degree view awaits you, unparalleled. Gaze across the vast, rugged Hardangervidda plateau, spot the majestic Gaustatoppen in the distance, and enjoy the panoramic view of the lakes and mountains of Telemark. It's an ideal place to take a break, enjoy the peace and quiet, and take in the impressive landscape.
