Slettefjell (1180 metres above sea level) and Sigurdsbunuten (1079 metres above sea level). Lifjell has many gems. From all sides. This time I travelled to Lifjell from Slåkja to the area on the Hjartdal side. First I went up along Uppdøla until I found a nice place to come across, then up Løyningen until I came to the back of Sigurdsbunuten. There you'll find fantastic rock formations. Almost like cathedrals with free-standing boulders. I walked up along them to get a closer look. Incredibly beautiful. At the top of Sigurdsbunuten, you have a view of the entire Lifjell plateau on one side and all of Hjartdalsfjella including Gaustadtoppen on the other. Fantastic views in all directions. I then went up to Slettefjell via Isfisketjønn and the long plains there. From there, you can see all the way to Notodden and down to Sauland. I walked down the ridge until I reached Illfiskskaret. Long ride down the valley towards Slåkjavatnet and back to the bike. 15.3 km and 730 vertical metres. 4 hour trip.
