Trip Summary

Given a rather wet day with showers coming through one after the other, we grabbed the chance of one rain break and included a short hike up to Lyderhorn (from Kjøkkelvikveien). We started along Lyderhornslien (into the direction of Olderdalen), but then chose to take the somewhat less used route up that has its trail head between Lyderhornslien 120 and 122 (some steps up, first, from between the houses). The trail is by now much better visible and it's easy to follow it upwards into the direction of Lyderhorn (first in southeastern direction, before turning left into north eastern direction). From 250mosl upwards, one can then also enjoy some nice views (mostly in western direction). From Lyderhorn, we then took the more popular route down (first in southern direction until close to Små-Lyderhorn, before then turning right and in northwestern direction (towards Olderdalen). Even after many times, Lyderhorn is always nice as a target for a quick and nice hike! :-)
