The small lake is easily accessed from the farm. Upon crossing the bridge across the river, make a right onto the main road. After about 500 mts there is a forest trail/road going off into the forest. Follow it in. In the first fork you can make a right to come to an old closed-off mine entrance - of make a left to continue up the trail. Hang a right again. The trail will lead you to an area with leftover rocks etc from the copper mines, and closed off entrances. (If you hit a bigger road instead of this area you have forgotten to hang a right half-way up the hill). Continute on the trail through this area and find yourself at the little lake called Gruvtjønn.

A beautiful lake in serene landscape. Easiest to reach by car from the farm, but also possible to hike. Allow a full day of hiking there and back, following the forest roads from the farm up to the mountain. Ask the host for more details.

One of the bigger hikes possible to do from the farm. You need a good map, and must allow for a full day of hiking from the farm. The easier version is to use a car which will take you about half way. The view is amazing.
