Total ascent: approx. 700 m

Special for the tour: The fantastic view from the top over the surrounding mountains and waterways.

Things to consider/tips: Make sure to book boat transport that gives you enough time to get up and down. Choose a day with a good weather forecast as there are no clear paths on the mountain. Keep an eye on your watch when you go up so you have plenty of time to hike back down.

Hiking description

Book a boat across Grövelsjön (M/S Sylöra operates the lake on a timetable). Read more!

​

The trip to Gröhogna follows the same route up as down. Starting from Bryggan in Sylen, you walk along a signposted path towards Grötådalen. Along the road/path you walk past the farms Sylseth, Rywang and Sylen. On the hike, you pass two bridges over the watercourses Grövelån and Röa. At the latter there are nice tent sites if you want to take your time and stay overnight.

​

When the path approaches the tree line, it's time to turn off towards the top. Then follow the easiest way up. Take it easy, stop and turn around a few times and enjoy the view that increases with every meter of ascent. Once at the top there is a rather large cairn and it is usually easy to find a leeward side of the wind. The top is large and flat so it's worth walking around a bit and looking at the view
