Skogshorn 1728m


 As you approach Hemsedal from the south, the mountains
 rise and become more
"alpine". Among the first you see
 is the impressive south side of Skogshorn.
You leave the parking place at 900m, and first enter a bush landscape. In the other direction the top can be seen. The approach is
to the right side in
this picture, clearly easy.
 Time to refill the water bottles. You don't get purer and
 colder water than this.
A view to the south from about 1300m The summit of Skogshorn is reached without any real difficulties. This picture is taken to the north, with the snowcovered peaks of Jotunheimen in the background.
 From the summit you can see Hemsedalen and
 Hallingdalen winding to the
southeast, though the
 lower mountain areas there.
To the southwest, at the other side of the valley Hemsedalen,
is Veslehorn (1300m) with it's impressive waterfall.
