Type: Hiking
Length: 4,4 km
Duration: 3 hours
Season: June-October
This is the start of the long fork road from Bakka across to Breidalen on the other side of the mountain. This was used to move animals and cattle to the stables in the past. Today, it is mostly the steep first part of the path up to Rimstigen that is in use.
After 2.7 kilometers and 725 meters of elevation gain from Nærøyfjorden you will arrive at one of the most popular hiking destinations and viewpoints in the area. There you can enjoy the view out over Nærøyfjorden .
The trail starts from the road between Bakka and Tufto at Nærøyfjorden . The path winds steeply up the mountainside below Bakkanosi and Rimstigfjellet. You quickly get a good view of the fjord on the way up. The last few meters of elevation before Rimstigen are paved with stone steps. Here it is an advantage to stay on your feet.
In winter and early spring, the area is very prone to landslides, traces of which can often be seen well into the spring and summer seasons.
CAUTION: In the event of high water flow, the waterfall spray may drift onto the path and you may risk getting wet.
Have a good trip in the world heritage! We hope you will enjoy one of the most beautiful fjord areas in the world, and help us to protect nature here. See the points below

Clean up after yourself and take all waste with you, including disposable grills and wet wipes.
In the outback, you can count as long as you are at least 150 meters from the nearest house or cabin. Open meadows in the lowlands are often inland. You can only camp there by agreement with the landowner. Use recommended campsites.
Lighting bonfires in forests and outlying areas is prohibited from April 15 to September 15, except in places such as the edge of a lake, where the risk of fire is minimal. Use established campfire sites and avoid lighting fires directly on rocky outcrops so that the rock cracks. Put out the fire and clean up after yourself before you leave.
Show consideration for grazing animals and wild animals. Keep your dog on a lead and close the gates. Wild reindeer are particularly vulnerable in late winter and spring.
Where there is no toilet, dig a hole at least 30 m from the path, building or washbasin. Toilet paper and wet wipes are rubbish that should be thrown in the rubbish bin.
Follow established trails - so wild reindeer and other shy animals don't have to meet people everywhere. Avoid cutting corners or blazing new trails.
Do not disturb animal and bird life. Observe animals and birds from a distance, using binoculars.
Cairns are signposts that help you follow the route. Do not build new cairns, as this can lead people astray. Do not remove stones from old cairns. They are cultural monuments.
