Itinerary description

|
Show original
Located near Lyngdal (Norway) The Skrelia waterfall resembles a huge water slide that goes down to the Lyngdal fjord, offering stunning views of it.
The start of the route is at the end of the Fv558 road, which, in certain sections, is no more than a dirt road, but you can get there well with ordinary tourism. We leave the car in the parking lot and take the path on the right that goes through a forest. Soon we will reach a fork with an indicative pole. If we choose the left path we will see the Skrelia waterfall at the beginning of the route and if we choose the one on the right, at the end of the route. We chose the one on the right. If you lose the track you have to go looking for the blue points that mark the route, very visible almost always from one point to another.
We will climb a rocky slope where we will cross several streams. That is why it is advisable to wear good waterproof shoes.
We will arrive at another fork where we will have the option of continuing to climb or start llanear, it depends on how long we want to do the route we can choose one or the other way since both ends up being found again later, the difference between both is that the left go up more and visit another lake, down below visit the waterfalls that come down from this.
We chose to go below to make it shorter. We will arrive llanear to a "strait" between two rocky massifs. At one point we will be able to take a detour to get to one of them and get some beautiful views of the lake below. After the relevant photos, we return to the route to go slowly down to another lake. In the descent we will see the waterfalls of the lakes above. We will have to go through a couple of steps that can be complicated if they carry a lot of water (thaw, a lot of rain) since, although there are temporary bridges and stones to save them, they do not cover them at all.
Once this is over we will arrive at the foot of another lake and we will call again through a rocky area until we reach the waterfall of Skrelia. A good place to rest and eat something in one of the picnic areas with better views. After recovering strength, we will climb a bit and arrive at the crossroads at the beginning of the route to retrace the steps before reaching the car.
