Duration: 3 hours
Season: Heile året
The tour is partly signposted and marked, and runs on both asphalt and gravel roads at the start, some tractor roads, but mostly paths in hilly terrain.
The tour starts at Pottefot (the parking lot just before the settlement). Follow Undredalsvegen about 200 meters down towards the center, then turn left towards Undredal stave church. Continue past the stave church and through a farmyard and past a few houses until you reach a tractor road, where you will see the nameplate "Krossnes". Follow the tractor road through the hayfield along the fjord until you reach a green boathouse, where the tractor road turns into a path. The path continues along the edge of the hayfield and then climbs up and over some rocks just behind a rough boathouse. The rocky outcrop can be quite scary if you're afraid of heights and/or struggle with your balance, but should be well secured.
From here, the trail continues upwards and through a somewhat rough stone wall until you reach the highest point on the trail, 40 meters above sea level. The trail winds down through the forest towards Dorganes down by the fjord. Here it can be nice to take a little break. From here, the trail takes you over small hay meadows and through small forests until it ends at Stokko.
At Stokko there is a public outhouse if needed.
PS: even though the tour may seem simple and easy to navigate, it's a good idea to wear good footwear as the tour goes through some rough terrain.
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
Untraceable traffic
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.
