April 15, 2023,Wanderung zum Gygrekjeften

The hike to Gygrekjeften in Norway is a challenging but fascinating tour.

The path leads through a wild, sometimes steep mountain landscape with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The last part before the summit is very steep and secured with ladders. A head for heights is required here.

Beautiful hike with a magnificent 360 view of the Fjords! The loop requires a climbing passage to reach the summit, otherwise go back via the path on the left at the intersection.
