Trip Summary

We parked at the Dalsmyra parking at the northwestern end of the arboretum. From there, it's an easy walk along a simple forrest road (mostly eastwards, first), before one gets into the heart of the arboretum. After passing a covered sitting area, we turned left---circling halfways around Mørkevatnet (with some nice views over this little lake). We then ascended the few meters upwards to enter the garden with many different Rhododendron-plants. After having enjoyed some nice views over Vestrepollen in the northwest, we turned right and continued in southeastern direction towards Langemyra---there, we connected to a path the lead us outwards to Store Brandaneset. At the southeastern end of Store Brandaneset, we enjoyed a really nice place directly at the sea. From there, we then returned---first along the same path that we had taken out, but then further via Oldertøset towards Store Grøneviksmyra. At the crossing of several paths, we turned right (and northwards) and connected to the forrest road, which lead us back to the parking spot at Dalsmyra.
