Veslehorn 1301m,
(with Hydnefossen)
Norway 20/7
2024
 



 Veslehorn is one of the most prominent mountains in
 Hemsedal. Not the highest, but with its vertical cliffs, and
 the waterfall Hydnefossen, it certainly makes an impression.
The parking place is at more than 1000m altitude. (tollroad, 70Nkr today). From there it's perfect access to the mountains. After a while Veslehorn is straight ahead. Buit before that it's
a small descent
to Hydnefossen.  



 "Thanks to" all the rain, there is plenty of water in
 Hydnefossen right now.
The waterfall is 475m and completely vetrical for 155m, truly impressive! Our route continues, along the lake Horntjerne and with Storehorn, 1482m, just behind.


 A while after the lake we reach this point. Veslehorn to
 the right, Storehorn to the left.
From that sign it's less than 100 altitude meters to the summit. At the summit. In the background, almost in the middle, is Skogshorn 1728m.


 There is a Swallowtail up here. These relativly rare
 butterfles seem to like higher altitudes. I have often
 seen them around peaks.
Behind the summit, in the valley, is the village Hemsedal.
