Because
of low clouds at Rjukan, I take an evening tour to
Haglebu instead. The car is parked at Haglebu camping,
with Haglebunatten, 1278m, in the
background. At least
it's free from clouds. I start walking at 17.00.
|
The
camping is at 800m, so the
walk is in the woods to
begin with. At 950m there are only dwarf birch
and the
view gets better. |
The
path could feel a little airy here, if you are afraid of heights, with
a steep drop at the side. But it's wide, and goes in a natural, very
nice
diagonal uphill.

|
| At
about 1000m I reach the treeline and all forest ends. |
The
lake Snøfonntjänn at a little more than 1000m. |
Some
150 altitude meters left
to the fortopp. Easy to walk, as you can see.

The lower summit, with its 1265m, provides
the best view. Here is the camping and Haglebu below. |
A small mountain lake, between the fortopp
and the main peak. Here is the lower summit behind to the left. |
The
cairn on the main summit, 1278m. Right now I'm happy I didn't choose a
higher mountain, the cloudbase is just a few meters over my head. When
the weather is bad, climb lower peaks...
|

|
But
it's a nice peak to climb. Furthermore, now a start
getting in shape.
I'm back at the camping at 19.00, only
two hours after I started
climbing. Here is the lower
summit in the background, the picture taken
to the
northeast. |
