Drotninggutunatten1234m, Holmevassnatten 1258m, Norway
 



 It's time to go home today. The original plan, to climb a
 peak at Hemsedal first has to be abandoned, due to
 rain and low clouds. Time for plan B. We stop at
 the Norefjell area, parking the car at 920m altitude. 
It doesn't take long to reach above the tree limit.
Holmevassnatten and Drotninggutunatten are to
the left.
There are two paths to the summit of Drotninggutunatten. We choose the shorter one, a little steeper but more fun. 



 Almost up. The summit cairn of Drotninggutunatten, 1233m. Easy to
reach but in a beautiful area. Plan B proves to be a good choice.
Here are some of the highest peaks in the Norefjell area. Ranten 1419m in the middle, with Høgevard 1460m to the right.

 The village Haglebu and the peak Haglebunatten in the
 middle.
We are moving on, a km up to Holmevassnatten, a few meters higher. Here's a look back to Drotninggutunatten, a little to the left.



.The summit of Holmevassnatten reaches 1258m. This
 small difference...
Makes us see Hallingskarvet far in the northwest, behind Haglebunatten. And I suspect it's Jotunheimen, visible far in the north.
