Itinerary description
|
20 kilometers of pure Dovrefjell, always on trails and paths in the tundras and mountainous wetlands of the park. We left Fokstugu crossing the E6 again to reach the detour we left the previous day. We pass a gate and start a slight climb where we will pass over a bridge over the Foksåe stream. The sudden is comfortable and progressive until at the height of an information panel on the wetlands of the tundra of the park we begin to descend until we reach the detour to the campsite Furuhaugli towards the pk 8.1. From there we will go back up slightly to the pk 9 to go back down among beautiful roads where the torrents, low scrub and typically Scandinavian flowers make it one of the most special sections of the road. Towards the 13.3 pk we stop to observe the old Bagastelle deer hunting site, where we make a detour of barely 30 m. Throughout the stage of today different informative panels inform us of the fauna, the flora, old settlements and burial mounds among other things. We approach the lake Avsjøen that we surround by its right margin, taking advantage to make a bath or at least freshen up. On pk 20,1 we cross the Hytthaugbekken stream to reach our accommodation today, the Hageseter Turisthytte campsite.
