A popular peak, for good reason

Excellent walk on Husfjellet, perhaps our favourite mountain climb. The path started well and was mostly very good. The ease of access and ease of climb makes this mountain understandably popular. A woodland track then path led up steeply to open views across the fjord. With Husfjellet showing ahead, we descended to a wet depression with an almost impossible path, the worst yet. This could be avoided on the lower slopes of Litje Brusen, to the right. We were overtaken by a young woman who was impressively fit but rather annoying as she was on her mobile phone jabbering away in Norsk for ages.

When we went along the narrow ridge to the summit to enjoy the views, she >>>

Bus to Snøheim, waymarked path across tundra then boulderfield on ridge to summit. Low cloud and sleet and snow. Return similar route. The bus took us 15 kilometres up a dirt track to Snøheim. On the way we saw a merlin mobbing a golden eagle and then the musk ox herd in the distance. There was snow bunting and ringed plover at Snøheim. The surroundings were cold and bleak.

We reached the ruin of Gamle Reinheim in one hour. The rest of the route was up a boulder field marked with metal poles. There were almost no plants, the only bird a common gull. Cloud on the peak ahead cleared briefly before we reached it. >>>
