Fantastic views in several places along the trail, and meeting the mountain farm is the award after the effort.
Starting point Sima powerplant, 6.5 km from the centre of Eidfjord
About the trail Make a left and walk along the fjord towards Kjeaneset (a boat house). At Kjeaneset make a right and follow the trail up the very steep mountain side. Ropes and ladders on parts of the trail. Do NOT hike when the trail is wet or covered with snow or ice. Some parts are slippery, and this hike requires hiking boots and great caution.
Be aware of steep cliffs. Great views along the trail and from Kjeåsen.
Currently there is no sale of food and drinks at Kjeåsen. Please respect private areas.
