Three days through the mountains of Skarvan og Roltdalen National ParkThe mountain areas of Skarvan og Roltdalen National Park rise in southeastern Trøndelag with Fongen/Lopmesvaerie (1441 m) as the highest peak. The park is named after the mountain range Skarvan/Tjohkeleh, which culminates at Storskarven (1171 m), as well as Roltdalen, the largest roadless forest and alpine valley in southern Trøndelag. The park was established in 2004 to protect wildlife, extensive old coniferous forests, large peatland areas, and the vibrant Sami culture with its reindeer husbandry. Despite areas not being completely spared from human influence, the protected zones have largely remained free from human construction activities and associated infrastructure. However, the protection benefiting the wild animals and reindeer also brings new dangers: the growing popularity of the region among hikers.

Garddalen - Rustic mountain huts in a clearing in a mixed forest

Depending on elevation and location, Norway has various vegetation zones. The tour described here leads mostly through raised bogs rich in peat moss and extensive deciduous and mixed forests dominated by spruce. Since the trail has only a slight elevation gain but offers plenty of nature, this might be the perfect moment to take your time, immerse yourself mindfully in the forest, and practice forest bathing. The route also includes Kneipp-style water treading. When crossing the river, the motto is: “Eyes closed, shoes off, and through the ice-cold river!” At the end of the hike, rustic wooden cabins stand in a godforsaken clearing between the 1,041-meter-high Bringen mountain to the northwest and the trio consisting of the 1,043-meter-high Bæelingfjella, the 1,066-meter-high Burkkhåmmåren, and the 1,089-meter-high Tverråfjellet. Here, in the middle of nowhere, body and mind can finally relax and recharge. Perhaps this tour is a path to slowness?!> We leave the small hydroelectric power plant with its reservoir—from which the Usma River 01 originates—and hike along the downhill access road. Then we cross the river on the new bridge, admiring the old bridge as we do so. After a short climb, we turn left onto the road at the hilltop 02. We pass the hermitage 03Kløftvollen. At a fork, we take the path slightly to the right. The signpost is so weathered that the inscription is illegible. We walk almost parallel to a power line and cross a stream. At another stream, we then pass under the power line. After walking a short distance parallel to the river, we wade through the 04Gardåa and continue following the ATV trail. We reach a clearing on a hill with the houses of 05Garddalen. We return to the parking lot at 01Usma via the familiar route we took on the way there.

Fottur til Baklifjellet og det høyeste punktet i Malvik Kommune 8. juli 2015.Turen går langs en grusvei som fører opp til toppen av Faseknippen hvor det står en radar for Trondheim Lufthavn Værnes. Etter et par kilometer langs veien, følger vi en sti som tar av til venstre og opp gjennom et kupert terreng frem til merkesteinen som markerer Malvik Kommunes høyeste punkt. Det er greit å ha ei rute å gå etter her, helst GPS, da steinen ikke er på en topp. Den er plassert på kommunegrensa mot Selbu og Trondheim.Ca. 16 km og 3,5 time.Videoklipp fra turen.

Fottur i MostadmarkaTuren gikk fra Viken og innover Lauvdalen. Vi hadde som mål å finne Lauvdalsgruva og Sveagruva. Lauvdalsgruva fant vi ikke og har nok passert den uten å se den, da disse stedene kan være nedgrodd. Vi fortsatte videre langs vestsiden av elva Lauva til Solemstjønna. Vi går rundt vannet og finner Sveagruva like nordvest for vannet. Her var det gruvedrift etter svovelkis og kopper på 16-1700-tallet.Vi fortsatte turen over skogkledde åser til Svea før vi returnerte tilbake til utgangspunktet.En tur på ca. 15 km over 4 timer.På vei hjem stoppet vi og gikk en tur ut på Langneset i Foldsjøen og til sist et besøk ved Mostadmarka Jernverk. Et museum som viser litt av historien rundt fremstilling av jern på 16-1800-tallet.

Fottur/Topptur til Kråkfjellet, Klæbu og Rensfjellet, MelhusTuren starter og slutter på parkeringsplass ved demningen på Samsjøen.Kråkfjellet ligger på grensen mellom Klæbu og Melhus og er Klæbus høyeste topp med sine 817 meter over havet. Det er ikke merket rute til Kråkfjellet så dette er en tur som krever at man er i stand til å finne fram i terrenget på egen hånd. På toppen er det en stor varde med turkasse og en minnestein som viser at her rastet kong Olav og statsminister Per Borten i 1969.Turen går videre i kupert fjellterreng til Rensfjellet. «Treriksrøysa», punktet der alle tre kommunene møtes, er markert med en mindre steinvarde 328 meter nordvest for toppen. Dette innebærer at det høyeste punktet i Melhus kommune er 930 moh. mens Rensfjellets topp er 941 moh. og ligger på grensa mellom Midtre Gauldal og Selbu.Ca. 25 km / 7 timer.
