Bergshammaren 1263m, 27/10 2012





 As you approach Haglebu from the south two peaks are
 prominent; Haglebunatten and Bergshammaren. Here is
 Bergshammaren with the village Haglebu in the foreground.
It's easiest to park just north of Haglebu and climb the mountain from the north. Here, on 880m altitude the winter
has begun. It's snow and below zero. I pass through the
forest to the right in the picture.
I've just reached the tree limit, on a little more than 1000m altitude. The road north towards Hallingdal in the middle of the picture. The lake Helgesetvatnet can be seen behind. It' a bit difficult to walk, the snow crust is hard but not hard enough.



 Straight to the north is Flentpiken 1242m.
The final climb to the summit is flatter and easier to walk,
since the snow is harder here. A snowcovered Norefjell
can be seen in the background.
Gausta peak, 1882m, rises far in the background. Closer and to the left is Haglebunatten 1268m.



 The same area, now outzoomed. To the south is Haglebu, where I have rented a small cabin
for the night.
Another picture to the north, with the lake Helgesetvatnet closest.
