From near Frovika by Marka veien (dirt road) and waymarked trail to Vattind summit then NE to near Haga-fjellet and round east side of Hundoyran to return via Vestgard (farm).
An astonishing bare landscape of rough rock, bleached and coloured by natural processes into a wide array of ochres, orange and reds, interspersed with tiny oases of vegetation and some clear lue lakes. The marked trail is very well provided with waymarks, but this did not prevent a wrong turn at a critical point, andhalf an hour wandering among some of the most harsh landscapes in Norway, with enormous rocks, crevices, scree and small streams. A real work-out, finishing with a steep descent to a very boggy section. A direct route from the large lake Nesvatnet to Hundoyran appeared possible, inspiring a return visit (09/06/25) and an improved approach.
