Rundemellen 1345m, 22/9 2013
Kalvemellen 1134m







The road towards Rundemellen begins about 10km north of Fagernes (payroad
50 Nkr). Here's the mountain just short of the parking place, with Kalvemellen to
the left
We park the car at 970m, close to  Turrsjøen south of the mountain. Only 380 altitude meters makes this peak very accessible.





Peter and Dante going up. The forest ends at 1100m. A view to the south from 1100m.





The lake Rabbalsvatnet to the northeast. The climb to the summit is on the northern side of the mountain, technically
easy. A large cairn on the summit
.






To the south, a few smaller cairns in front of the steeper cliffs. To the north, some of the higher peaks of Jotunheimen can be seen between
the clouds
.






Now we are descending again. After reaching the mountain from the eastern
side we go back to the west, making a full lap around Rundemellen.
Eventually, Kalvemellen turns up ahead. Being there, close to us, makes it easy to climb. With only 80 altitude meters extra, it's an easy task.





The summit cairn on Kalvemellen. From the ridge we can follow a trail, leading us
all the way down to the car again.
The Hemsedal mountains to the west.





Looking south, Turrsjøen and the parking place ahead of it.
