End of July, summer heat in most of Europe. Oslo has not been so hot as other cities, however even 25 degrees and sunny weather can be too much here. So it was great to escape for a few days to colder wilderness and show Lukas our favorite Femundsmarka. We stayed in Engerdal and made several trips around.
 |
| First destination - Hognsjøen, relatively small lake above Engerdal. There are big (3 kg) trout and artic char swimming and they are not easy to catch. |
 |
| The gravel road (Nysæterveien) that goes along the north-east edge of Østre Blakksjøhøgda to the parking 3 km from Hognsjøen, offers great views over Femund and Kvisleflået. |
 |
| Second destination - 3,5 km path along Gutulisjøen towards Gutulisetra offers a taste of Gutulia national park, the smallest one in Norway. While Lukas was taking a nap, I managed to get a nice trout in Gutulisjøen. |
 |
| Third destination - a round 11 km hike from Gløtvola to the top of Vardefjell. Amazing forest in lower parts, a lot of wind and nice views above the forest. |
 |
| Fourth destination - hike from Galten to Galtåsknappen and back (7 km in total). Fantastic views all around. The brochure with the selection of 20 hikes to the mountain tops in the area (topptur) can be downloaded here. It seemed that Lukas enjoyed the trips (except driving) and we are looking forward to coming back soon. |
