To Mount Grøtshornet with my Son Dag

Date:
27.02.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:28h
Distance:
10.5km

I have on one previous occasion ascended Mount Grøthornet along with my oldest son and my youngest daughter, but on that occasion the weather was so rainy and foggy that we didn't see a thing from up there; so when my son now asked me if I'd like to have another hike up there, I immediately responded with a "yes".

And so took the roughly 3 hours drive by car, and arrived at Blaksæter in Stryn, where we parked our car at Kjennhaugmyra Parking Lot . The location was indeed very nice. After leaving County road 698, which follows the fjord called Nordfjord, you climb up the mountainside by car, following a rather narrow farmland road that has a number of hairpin bends; and then all of a sudden you're there. Stryn Winter Camp School is located in a building at this site, and in the slopes above it, Bjørkelibakken Ski Jump Arena is located (Images ## 3, 4 & 5). We put our boot and skis on, and started going upwards to the left of the ski jumps. At one point we must've missed >>>
