Balabu and Klukkshaug

On the way from Bergen to Sogndal we made a stop at Balestrand for a visit of Balabu. Parking was found at the marked trailhead and from there we could follow a very nice marked trail all the way to the cabin. From Balabu I continued on my own along an unmarked trail to Klukkshaug but must admit that the views there did not really live up to the expectations and I did not stay long before starting my descent.
