Geitanipa

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
4.8km

We started from Langhelle, between Trengereid and Vaksdal, at the end of the paved (small and narrow) road, which winds up there from E16 near the fjord. We first walked up a little longer along the gravel road until the point, where it makes a sharp turn right, leading further up to Seterkokane. We then followed a forest trail that brought us further up (in southeastern direction) to the saddle between Trollaberget and Geitanipa. At about this saddle, we decided to not descend to the southern side, but instead to connect to Geitanipa, instead. While there was not really any path or trail to Geitanipa, we still managed to get there without major difficulties (Geitanipa is, in fact, a bit steep on its eastern side, so it is necessary to carefully choose a good spot for ascending to it). >>>

We took the car along road 557 towards Bjørndalen, where we parked right next to Bjørndalstjørna. We crossed the double-lane street (Lyderhornsveien) and found a narrow passage that led us up to Bjørndalsbakken. From there, we connected to Sildaberget and between houses 31 and 35 we found the narrow opening, which leads the path that brings one up the steep mountain-side there. Before actually ascending to Lyderhorn, we first crossed Skarpafjellet in the south of Lyderhorn. Once up the little top, there, one can enjoy some very nice views in all directions. In order to get further to Lyderhorn, we descended from Skarpafjellet on its northeastern side, avoiding the very steep side towards Grøvledalen. From the saddle, where also a power line is crossing, we then followed a path, which >>>
