This mountain hike starts and ends at the summit of Mt. Ulriken. This route has local cultural history as well as beautiful and wild highland nature and scenic views. To the south you might see the Folgefonna glacier and to the west the North sea. You will walk to “Turnerhytten” one path and return on another path, passing among others ruins of old cabins and get the story on your app.
