Today
the weather is considerably better than yesterday, when I climbed
Haglebunatten. I check out from the camping and take on the Gausta
peak,
before driving home to Sweden in the afternoon. Here is the mountain
from
the camping.
|
The
last time I climbed Gausta, we started from Svineroi, which means some
900 altitude meters to walk. This time I start at the bigger car
parking at 1200m, meaning 700m. The goal is visible from the start, it
doesn't look that far. |

|
A
view from 1400m. The last time I was here we had clouds covering the
top,
we couldn't see anything. Therefore it feels extra good with nice
weather now. |
The
summit is getting closer. The higher I get, the more stone there is. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
last 250 altitude meters. Now there is nothing but stones...
|
The top cabin at 1830m. This is
where most people stop, have some coffee and then walk down again. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
But from here it's about 15 minutes to the
real peak. The path going there is a bit
airy, with a few passages where one needs to take some care. The red T
markings should be followed. |
The
Gausta peak, 1883 m. At clear wheather you can see 1/6 of Norway from
here. Maybe it's not that clear today, but you can see far. In the
background is Hallingskarvet with its white snow. And the top marking,
well... |

A look
back to the path leading from the top cabit and the mast. |
Rather steep from the summit
down to Rjukan.

Looking
to the northwest. The surrounding peaks look small, because Gausta is
conciderably higher. |
A view
to the southwest. After descending the mountain again I reach the car 4
hours after leaving it.
