← Trail Tips
Middle-earth exists and it's not that far away. These rugged mountainsides we have from Øyane in Flatdal up towards Skorve. The Skorve wall is not so easy to explore, but if you know where to go it becomes easier. This trip was meant as a reconnaissance trip and I got it. The hike first went past Kløvbekkfossen, which is fantastic to see so close up. Probably 100 meters of free waterfall, which you almost stand right under. I walked up the slopes to the wetland. It's too grassy, so you shouldn't do that. But, over in the primeval forest, it's quite easy to walk upwards. The only thing is that it's loose and unstable. Some moss makes it difficult to walk in. I continued up to the "stone lock" far up in the ura. This collection of stones stops the hike. You can't get past it alone. You need more people and a rope. But fit people can actually crawl through the lock. I'm very curious about Juvrehallin, which lies up ahead. I think it's a magical place. I can picture it. Lord of the rings. Middle-earth in Skorve. And it makes a big difference to experience areas you've only seen from a drone before. Fun. Making good goals for next year when it's dry and warm.
