ジェンデの湖・トップ5

A recommended stopover for a hut-hopping tour through Jotunheimen National Park. Several other huts are easily accessible within a day's hike.

Great cabin and good campsite

From here you can easily get to the other end of the lake and start your tours from there.

Here you can take a boat across the lake in the morning.

Here the boats start for the transfer to Memurubu or Gjendebu. Early in the morning when the lake is still calm you have fantastic pictures.

More information about the ferry: https://www.gjende.no/de/praktische-info-und-preise/ With the help of the ferry, buffers can be installed very well in multi-day tours. In addition, the more difficult stages along the Gjendesees (Bukkaelegret and Besseggen) can be avoided in bad weather. When visiting the Besseggen, it is recommended that luggage be transported on board the ferry. The luggage is then parked under a waterproof tarpaulin at the destination. It worked smoothly for us and the Besseggen is definitely more fun without a heavy backpack!

Enables a variety of different shortcuts and tour options, which offers a very practical flexibility, especially when planning multi-day tours. In bad weather, you can also avoid the demanding passages along Lake Gjende (Besseggen, Bukkelaegret). The luggage transport is also very comfortable and recommendable for the ascent of the Besseggen.

If you hike all the way over the famous Besseggen, you might want to take the ferry. You have two options: take the ferry that departs in Gjendesheim to Memurubu and hike the way back to Gjendesheim. Or start your hike in Gjendesheim, hike over Besseggen and take the ferry from Memurubu in the afternoon. You just have to know: the ferry goes only twice a day (sometimes 3 times in summer): in the morning and in the afternoon. The afternoon ferry leaves Memurubu around 5 pm. When you see the boat getting to Memurubu from above, you will have to run to catch it (at least I had to). Otherwise you will have another nice hike back to Gjendesheim along the shore ;) So make sure to look at the time tables and always keep in mind: the hike always take longer than you think. https://www.gjende.no/en/time-tables/
