Hiking description

The tour starts at the large car park which is before the Norwegian border along the road to Norway. Follow the cross-marked trail to the Valdalsbygget and enjoy the old forest. From the Valdalsbygget, where there is an open rest house, there are signs for Gammeldalen. The walk here changes character from pine and spruce forest to light birch forest and you now walk along a clear but unmarked path.

From Gammeldalen you go north and when you leave the farm keep right on the path that goes up a gravel ridge. Here you get a view of Båthusberget and it is an easy hike up to the car road which you follow back to the car park.
