Kikutstua

On Sunday, we were only two and one of our dreams was always to go for a bigger skiing tour, so we decided to start at Frognerseteren again (it is just so convenient) and ski to Kikutstua and back which is something like 25 km. The distance itself was not really the problem but the steep uphill slopes were quite strenuous and the steep downhill slopes quite hard to manage with cross-country skis and some of those were despite the new snow quite icy (here the slopes are sometimes more like hiking trails and not like these totally prepared slopes in Germany and Switzerland - has advantages and disadvantages). Still we managed the tour and it was fantastic - the weather was great and there were not too many people because most Norwegians went on holidays somewhere else over the Easter weekend. Kikutstua is quite funny itself because you can get drinks and waffles and some other food in the middle of nowhere - as it seems. Of course there are gravel roads going there but 'normal' people cannot go there by car ;) In summer it can be quite nice because somewhere I saw that they rent out canoes (maybe the is not up-to-date anymore) since it is on the shore of Bjørnsjøen - a quite big lake there.
