Trip Summary

We parked at the end of Hausdalen and started with walking in Brekkjedalen (until a height of about 260mosl). Basically, where a power line mast stands close to the gravel road, a path diverts to the left, marking the beginning of the ascent to Sydpolen. Down in Brekkjedalen, late morning frost was still omnipresent, but after only a few meters of our ascent over the ridge upwards, we "entered" the sun and enjoyed a beautiful autumn day! It took us 60 mins. from the gravel road and up to the top of Sydpolen---not too bad, maybe! :-) From Sydpolen, after a short break, we continued in northeastern direction, rounding Gullfjelltjørnane in a counterclockwise manner. Near Gullfjellet (not Gullfjelltoppen), we connected to the main path that leads up and down Gullfjellet via Redningshytten. We followed this path down to the small lake righe about Redningshytten. There, we left the main path, turning left and up (a little!) to Toro. From Toro, we descended to Brekkjedalen along the ridge called Hausdalsåsen. Walking out of Brekkjedalen and back to our car was then a relaxing end to this very nice autumn hike! :-)
