Tips for the walking holiday
Falkeriset - on paved paths
The great trip up to Falkenuten (1096 m) is not without reason everyone's favourite! The trip is 1,5 kilometers on paved paths - and at the top you are rewarded with a panoramic view of Hardangervidda and Gaustatoppen.
Sculptures Vidsyn
You see it from the main road - enthroned up on Vierlithe top, the mysterious sculpture, which follows you with its eyes. Park by Vierli cafeteria, and follow the footpath under the bridge and further up - both the sculpture and the view at the top make it a truly wonderful experience.
The boss nut
Another top tour favorite is The boss nut, a 1,5-hour walk starting at the crossroads to Varland. From the top (1431 m above sea level) you have fantastic views in all directions, both towards Gaustatoppen, Brattefjell, Møsvatn and towards Hardangervidda.
