Høgås - a short and open hike with a view of Seljord

Høgås (414 m) is a small, airy hill in Kivledalen, just a few kilometers from Åsheimgrendi. This is a short and easy hike, but with surprisingly great views of Seljord, Seljordsvatnet and the surrounding villages.

The hike starts near the roughly painted garage you see from the road, and goes through light forest terrain up to the narrow summit. The landscape is almost completely open and bare, which means you get a lot of views without having to walk far. This is a perfect evening hike, family hike or Sunday hike for those who want to hike in terrain that feels free and open.

At the top, you'll have a view of Seljord town center, with Skorvefjella in the background and blue skies as far as the eye can see.

Alternative routes:

- You can extend the hike by continuing to Venåsvegen or up towards Hartol. These routes are longer and provide a nice round trip through forest and low mountain terrain. With these detours, the hike quickly becomes 6-7 km long, and is suitable for those who want a longer experience.

- Length: Approx. 2-3 km round trip (short variant)
