Bleste - 2017 10 turfavorittar Hiking Trail

Be aware - when you are crossing the marshy area with a small pond on your right hand side ( comming from the Fekjastølan side ) it is wasp under some of the planks !!!.

We recommend you to walk on the left hand side of the planks.

Well-marked path in easy high mountain terrain with views towards Hallingskarvet, the river Lya and a multitude of high mountain farms. From Svarthamar the hike goes through a small cottage area and goes on towards the high point of Blesti. Go back the same way or continue in a gradual descent to Tormodset. Now you can either go back the same way to Svarthamar or you can walk one of the farm roads.
