Welcome!

 



This blog will be about my interests and knowledge of orienteering and navigating the terrain, helping you see the forest for more than just the trees :) From time to time, I'll also reveal and share my many forest secrets with you. There's not a rock, trail, or pond I haven't explored. But if I do come across something new and exciting, you'll hear about it here on my blog.

Welcome aboard

Lomtjønnfjellet up by Tuddal

Bilde
Gaustatoppen and the mighty Gausta massif, seen from way down in Dardalen. (Dardalen-seter) Well now, take a good look at them purdy pictures y’all see here, they’re from the old mountain pastures of Dardalen and another one sittin’ by Ostetjønn, up on the north side of Utmannsnipun near Tuddal. From both them spots, you get yourself a downright amazin’ view lookin’ north toward that mighty Gausta mountain range. Now them photos showin’ that sweet little lake with the cozy mountain cabins? They were snapped on the north side of Lomtjønnfjellet, which sits at 3,895 feet above sea level, with Lomtjønn itself down in the front at about 2,867 feet. You can hit the trail startin’ from the parking area over by Sveigtjønn, headin’ on past Dardalen and Ostetjønn, all the way out to Bergetjønn just south of Lomtjønn to reach this spot. But heck, if you’re up for a longer stretch, you can also walk in from the gate down by Stuverud and follow the trail along the Kvitåa river, just keep in mind...

Emma Hjorth, Ramsåsen loop through Tanum Jordbru.

Up at Ramsåsen lookout point. It's like bein' at the top of Holmenkollen ski jump and Tryvann Tower—like you're in heaven! The hike heads to Emma Hjorth through Tokerud view to Tanum Church (famous for Alex Rosen's big embarrassment ). From there to Ringi Farm, known for its darn good exclusive apple cider and pick-your-own corn in beautiful countryside. Then on to Ringi Hill where the trail ain't marked and turns right from the blue-marked trail just past the cornfield at Ringi Farm, with some bee hives and an old rundown pasture. Up on Ringi Hill, there's a mighty fine view and a dang good nature reserve worth visitin'. Next, past Jordbru via an old stone hut used by Milorg during World War II, then up to Ramsåsen via Kantebakk, and possibly another Milorg cabin called Ramsåsstua. From there, head north to Skosliteren through Tjennhaugputten, and either Merradalen or Langås Cabin—also used by Milorg—and further on to Skosliteren and Peterskleiv. At Skoslit...

Røstvet Mountain, Langmyra Nature Reserve, Nordfjord Cabin, Isi and Enli Nature Reserves!

  (The Lookout Point and Campsite, Røstvet Mountain) Røstvet Mountain In the pictures above, you see a magnificent viewpoint at Røstvet Mountain, just south of Langemyr and Hujonfjellet, and right above the Isi landfill in Bærum. So even though the picture gives the impression of being deep in the wildest wilderness, it's actually taken right near the most densely populated area of Bærum, namely my hometown, Rykkinn. So here you have a local treasure where it's perfect to pitch a tent - but watch out for the adder, which also thrives well in an idyllic and sunny spot like this. Below, you'll see the map that takes you up to Røstvet Mountain, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a lynx as they've been observed several times in the area. (Marked map excerpt from the Rognlia map by Lommedalen Orienteering from 1989) Here's how to find your way: ( Several map excerpts from the website Mapant. Note that although these are the latest maps available, many of the...
