Rutebeskrivelse
Do not rely or trust completely on the signs with sticks, they use to disappear when you need them the most. Useful when they show up though specially with fog. Better to rely on your GPS or wikiloc app on your phone.
The final section involves crossing a small creek to follow the (f**king) poles but I don’t recommend to cross it and follow instead the more obvious singletrack on the side you were coming from. Both trails will led you to Vik though.
On the Hatta second summit beware of where you put your feet specially when wet, there are nice views but also a huge fall!
Also, be warned that the grass has grown in the lower sections and I simply couldn’t find the path and had to run across fields.

Cross it the poles are on the other side
Another option is to keep going along the singletrack you're coming from and not crossing the creek

Such a fun loop!
Thanks for your comment Kristina. And glad you enjoyed this trail. Indeed a great spot!
Excellent climb! How hard were the climbing conditions and w ould you recommend this in April?
The area is truly stunning, but I recommend avoiding it during wet, snowy, or foggy conditions. Alternatively, you might consider skipping the summit altogether—it can be quite intimidating with its steep drops and slippery grass. Thanks for your comment, and may the weather be with you if you decide to go! Let me know how you like it! :)
Thank you Jordi, I appreciate the kind message. Thankfully the weather is good so I will attempt the climb!
Hey!
Really nice trip. I enjoyed a lot. The views and the enviroment is amazing.
Very good explained Jordi: pictures, information, picks and also suprime about the places where you need to cross the River.
I went while it was raining and the experience was even better than in a sunny day. At least more funny 😅
Thanks Jordi!
So glad you did it with more fun than issues :) tricky on a rainy and foggy day! Thanks a lot for your note and safe trails! :)
