Beautiful weather in Norway today! I take a trip to Rjukan and park my car at
1150m altitude, close to the lake Heddersvatn. |
The trail follows the lake Heddersvatn for a short bit .... |
|
|
|
|
|
| And then climbs to the next lake at around 1200m. | All the time in the presence of the mighty Gausta Peak, 1883m, just a few km to the west. | |
|
 |
 |
|
| Having passed two more lakes (I pass seven in total on my way to the summit,
nice!) It's easy to follow the trail, even if it's a good idea to memorize the map before coming here. (as I always do) | Now at 1300m, close to the summit. Store Gaustakne 1526m in the backgrond to the right. | |
|
|
|
|
|
As I climb "off track" to the main summit, I can see the lower southeast peak.
It's more spectacular and therefore the most visited. Well, I'm going for both.... |
A small cairn marks the main summit of Toreskyrkja 1392m. I improved it a little... |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Far away, at the horizon, Hardangerjökulen. |
And Hallingskarvet. |
|
|
 |

|
The SE- summit of Toreskyrkja, a short while later. And why is this summit more spectakular? |
Here's the reason. A sharp drop to the SE, with the lake Djupetjønn below. Really nice! |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
On the way back I leave the trail and once more, go off track to a unnamed
peak, 1363m. |
This is a detour, but now I get my third peak and it's nice up here as well! |
|
|  | | |
| From here I can descend to the south, reaching the trail between the car park and Heddersfjell. A good ending of a fine day! | | |
