Langrinden (Ulriken) (17.03.2016)

Note that this track has been created a posteriori, i.e., from memory, not automatically recorded.

Trip Summary

We started from Haggardshaugen (right above Montana Vandrehjem), followed Skiveien / Johan Blytts vei up to the point, where a little bridge crosses over a small stream. Instead of crossing the bridge, we turned left and followed the ridge up (first towards the power line mast, then along the ridge further up). This is a very nice way up to Ulriken. Since time was late, already, and it started to get dark (also, we reached the clouds at a point which is marked with Langrinden), we decided to not ascend all the way up to Ulriken, but turn around and go back, instead. All in all, a short and nice evening hike, right after work! :-)
