Hiking Norway in summetime....

A great joy for me is hiking through the Norwegian mountains, especially in Jotunheimen. I like all about this region with its lovely, cosy cabins. Most of them are owned by DNT (Den Norske Turistforeningen), The Norwegian Trekking Association.  Jotunheimen is a Walhalla for a 'cabin-freak' like me!
Sometimes, the weather is unstable, some call it 'bad' weather. But Norwegians say that there is no bad weather, only bad clothes. And it happens that you can experience the 4 seasons in one single day!

It's so good to arrive in a cosy cabin after a solid but rewarding hike. A warm shower, a substantial meal and a cup of coffee with good company at the fireplace!! Back to Basics!

Today's hike goes from Leirvassbu till Skogadalsboen (DNT) ....

Almost arriving at Leirvassbu

The next morning, preparing to leave after a good breakfast

Leaving Leirvassbu behind...

That is what we see next!

Some crossings can be challenging....

Approaching Skogadalsboen, the scenery changes a lot
Lovely cabin!!
