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

Emma Hjorth, Ramsåsen loop through Tanum Jordbru.

Bilde
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...

Lomtjønnfjellet up by Tuddal

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...

Lindeberget, Gampen, and Damvann out in Lier, which used to be part of Buskerud.

Gampen and Lindeberget are two dang good hiking spots, with Gampen bein' the tallest peak around. Up in the northwest part of Vestmarka, Lindeberget offers some mighty fine views and so do the surroundin' areas. There's plenty of trails and old roads, marked on Asker Skiklubb's Vestmark map from 2017, but hardly anyone uses 'em 'cause they're so far outta the way. The area 'round Gampen, Damvann, and Sørelva—yeah, that valley or creek north of Damvann—is real wilderness country. Up on Gampen, there's lots of good blueberry bushes, too. Lindeberget and Gampen might remind ya of a neighborhood name in Oslo, not too far off, thinkin' of Lindebergveien right by Øvrevoll racetrack in Bærum. Speaking of racetracks, these trails are perfect for tearin' up on a mountain bike, and probably good for horseback ridin', too. So grab the handlebars of a real mountain bike or take the reins for a ride. And here's the list of all them trails I'm ...
