Nipa via Stegane from Matre

Date:
05.11.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:42h
Distance:
13.0km

Warning: This hike includes a steep ascent and a potentially very dangerous dam crossing. Read the report carefully and plan accordingly! An ascent of Nipa next to Hummelfossen in Matre had been on my list for a while but had always been postponed as it requires that the hike is preceded by an extended period with low amounts of rain. Something that is rather uncommon in this part of the country. However, after an unusually dry October, and with little to no rain for the first days of November, the conditions were finally right. I started by taking the express bus to Matre and from there walked north and then northeast along Stordalsvegen until arriving at Hummelfossen. Here I was glad to see that my predictions were right with Hummelfossen being almost completely without water, the importance of which will be revealed shortly, >>>
