20의 바이클가지 명소 & 주요 장소

On the ascent, the additional loop marked halfway up with magnificent views is worth it. It adds about 30 minutes. Caution! The summit elevation is incorrectly listed on Komoot. The summit is at 950 m, not the stated 850 m. Shortly before reaching the E9, you can turn right onto a forest path, which connects to a trail. This leads to the starting point. This saves you a few hundred meters of paved walking on a busy road.

There's a small parking lot at the northern starting point. There's a public outhouse at the southern starting point. The road that bypasses the tunnel is impassable due to the risk of rockfalls. However, you'll reach the road halfway through the hike and have to follow it.

From the end of the gravel path, a small path leads further to Gloppefossen.

Just stop when you're passing through and walk the short historical circular route. Signs explain the history, even in German. There are also public toilets at the small parking lot.

Great views of Setesdal

Here on the plateau, there are good opportunities for pitching a tent for the first time. Tent pegs hold on to the small bushes.

As long as there is still snow, rubber boots are extremely recommended. The water is damn cold. 🙈

Coming from Valle, you'll encounter alpine terrain for the first time, which means you make slow progress; on the other hand, you're also at the top for the first time, which is naturally motivating. It still felt quite far to Bossbu, but that could also be because the sun had already set. You could still turn back to the Stavskar i Setesdal Vesthei hut (https://www.komoot.de/highlight/910380), but of course it's nicer to still make it to Bossbu if that's your plan.
