Riverside Rest Area in Hovden Landscape Conservation Area

Highlight • River

On this side of the river bank there are numerous places with flat stones to take a break right by the water. Bathing is difficult due to the current, but it is good to cool your feet.

If you don't want to walk the whole loop and are just looking for a nice place to rest and (sun)bathe, this is the place for you.

Bortemannsbekken River Crossing

Highlight • River

Possibly impassable in the rain. Can be crossed with good hiking boots on dry feet, with children you can unfortunately only wade barefoot, which is difficult in some places due to the depth of the water.
