    From the parking lot, cross the street and climb up the trail heading south, up and away from the road. Follow the signs to "Mørkgonga utsikt".

    At the top of Mørkgonga, there is a fantastic lookout point on the cliff with eastern views over Hønefoss and the surrounding landscape. From this point, you can hike back down or continue the adventure for another kilometer up to the mountaintop due east, Gyrihaugen.  

    From Gyrihaugen, head back down the same route.

    Equipment

    Bring bug spray during a summertime hike, especially in the evening. Due to many ponds and lakes in Nordmarka, mosquitos are quite active here.
