Hiking newbies, Hiking tours, Norway

We went to Tuvatoppen but find ourselfs on 489 m high cliff

Posted by Kristine Mackare on

Summer hiking season in Norway officially starts in may. Our first tippåtop tur (but before we made registration in the page) was on the 10th of May. It seems what we really like adventures and do like all is not for us.

It was planned to be a hike on Tuvatoppen. At the beginning we found marks and follow by them – it means it was a right path. Then we ran out of targets and tried to find a way.

And only on our way home we find Tuvatoppen there we supposed to be at first.

It supposed to be a small walk but it was 9,5km, 4h and 3 different tops.

Mark on the beginning of the path. But to find it you must find a right parking place.

Spooky tree in the spooky wood – it is so mysterious. We imagine how mysterious mood can be made here with some lights on some Halloween theme.

The spooky and mysterious wood of birches

Mysterious birch with a mark (little bit looks like Latvian flag colours) on it – the sign of that we are going by the right path.

Spruce forest – just some square meters of spruces in a middle of birch wood.

Some red cranberries from last season – I tried, they were like a vine.

The first top we reached and understand – it is not a Tuvatoppen. Looking for something higher because we decide it should be higher and more cliff-like.

A snowy valley between tops. We crossed it. It was very wet and swampy, and snowy.

Butterfly. In Latvia, it is called raibenis and if it is seen as first at spring it means to have a very colourfull summer full of different events.
