Tekslehogget 721m,
Norway 24/6
2024
 



 This is how Tekslehogget looks, from the road between  Prestfoss and Lyngdal. Tekslehogget lies just outside the higher peaks, close to Prestfoss in Norway. This time I take my Honda, for a two
day trip in the mountains. After checking in at the campsite,
a few km away, I park my bike at Tekslehogget parking
place. (Tollroad, 50Nkr cash)
From the parking place (alt.490m) you follow a small road 500m. Then take the path, just follow it to the summit. After reaching the 600m level you start getting some nice views.



 Up on the rocky part, around. The first summit, in this
 picture, has a box with a summit book. But this summit
 isn't the highest. The third and last summit is.
It's up here it gets really nice! To the northwest you can see the highest part of Andersnatten. Behind it, parts of Norefjell.

 To the southwest, Blefjell. But the real reward of this peak are the dramatic cliffs. More than 200 altitude meters, at some places completely vertical. Even the path leading up here is fairly steep, but you don't need to use the hands.  This gets even more clear, when seen from some altitude.


 Vertical picture from the summit. If you can get vertigo,
 don't stick your head out here. Well, maybe you shouldn't
 do it anyway...
