Hike Description
​
A scenic 60-minute drive brings us to the starting point, with Ramnstoknuten standing as a captivating landmark in the distance. Before setting off, we conduct an equipment check and a brief safety briefing, ensuring everyone is prepared for the adventure ahead.
​
The hike begins on a peaceful gravel road alongside a picturesque lake, passing scattered cabins that enhance the area's tranquil charm. After approximately 1.8 km, the road ends, and we transition into natural terrain, following a scenic trail winding past serene lakes.
The terrain, though occasionally damp, remains charming as we traverse the open landscape before descending into a forested slope. This scenic stretch invites brief photo breaks—an understandable temptation in such magical surroundings!
​
In summer, the forested section can feel warm, especially as we reach the valley floor and begin the next ascent. Fortunately, a small stream offers a refreshing spot to refill water bottles before continuing through the hilly terrain. If desired, we take a short detour to explore an old bear cave, a relic from the time when these animals roamed the area.​
A final ascent, a brief descent, and then a few more steps upward—and just like that, we’re almost at the top!
​
Now, Ramnstoknuten awaits! A well-built cairn marks the summit of the mountain we admired from the car earlier. The reward? A breathtaking view—Høgsfjorden stretches to the northwest, while Frafjorden winds eastward between towering peaks. Here, we take a well-earned break, savor a warm drink, and soak in the scenery.​
​After our rest, we follow the same route back. If time and energy allow, we can take scenic detours to enjoy new perspectives and capture even more memorable moments.
​
This hike shares its starting point with our Lauvnesknuten hike, slightly east on the plateau. For those up for the challenge, both peaks can be conquered in a single adventure.
