Destinasjon Eidfjord
Explore a slice of Hardangervidda National Park through easy terrain on this triangular route near Tinnhølen Lake. The trail is long, but well-marked and mostly flat. The trail visits two serviced cabins open in the summertime so you can choose to spend a cosy night on the high mountain plateau.
If you plan on staying or eating at one of the tourist cabins, be sure to check the opening dates for the season in advance. You can also ring ahead to make sure and to let them know you’re coming.
- Trondsbu tourist cabin near the start/end of the loop is a full-service cabin.
- Stigstuv tourist cabin, at the end of the first leg, is also a full-service cabin.
