This time I take my mc to Haglebu in Norway. My target is Bergshammaren,
that
I have climbed once before. Then it was in snow and from the flatter,
northern side. Now I will climb from the south, up the "shelf" leading
from right to left in this picture. This is a steeper, more spectacular
climb. |
The
camera doesn't show that it's quite steep here. The southern, lower
summit is to the left while the main summit is to the right. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a while, the path goes close to the vertical cliffs, down towards Haglebu,
giving really nice views! |
Just above 1000m, at the tree limit, you can begin to see parts of Norefjell to the southeast. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
The steep cliffs to the main summit are to the right, |
but first I will pass the lower, southern summit, 1212m. |
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
I don't stay here for long, but descend 45 altitude meters... |
and pass the lake Nilsetjenn. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
A short while after the lake there is free view to the west. Here are the lakes
Nordre and Søre Økteren. |
The path turns 180 degrees here. Now you can access the higher "shelf", going back towards the main summit. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Soon it's visible straight ahead. |
At the main summit after 1,5h. Haglebunatten 1278m is in the middle, with the village Haglebu down to the left. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here's the lake Nilsetjenn from the summit. |
The
view of Haglebu is spectacular from here. Take note of the man standing
on the snowfield. It turns out to be a nice Norwegian guy. We get a
talk as I meet him on my way down. |

The visibility is rather poor today. But I can still see Hallingskarvet to the
northwest, 70km away and reaching more than 1900m. |
Even harder to see but visible, The Gausta Peak 1883m, 65km to the southwest. |
