Hike around the Bletoppen

Finally I found some people to hike with me, so Sunday 3 of us went to a hike close to the Bletoppen. Originally we wanted to hike to the top but we left too late from Oslo since the drive is already two hours. It was a very nice day and instead of going on top we had a longer lunch break and enjoyed the sund (which is much nicer at that altitude since there is lots of wind ;)).
As usual in Norway, there were not only mountains/hills but also many lakes. And the hike started at one:



Quite soon the trail went uphill and we had some fantastic views on the lakes in the region:



Further up we reached the treeline and a more alpine region which looked like this:





The trail followed a steam with small waterfalls and still some snow:



We didn't completely reach the top but a good hight to see the mountains around:



There was also a hut in between the lakes:



Another impression:



There is still some snow on the highest mountain on the other side:



Lakes from above:



And another nice lake:





On the way back I had a flat tire - I slightly hit the border of a roundabout and BOOm - huge hole in the tire. Well, we changed it quite fast but now I have to find a place where I can get a spare for a decent price.

  1. Andersnatten, Bletoppen... die Norweger haben lustige Namen für Ihre Berge, wohin gehts das nächste Mal? Cålmøllen? oder Dærnglåssør :D
