Better hiking trails from Rindabotn to the mountains
Now it will be much better organized in summer and autumn for hikers, with start and starting point from Rindabotn.
Sognehus and Neumann bygg have joined forces to sponsor Sogndal Skisenter (SSD) with material, so that a few blue areas on the hiking trail up to Rysete can be patched up (Red Cross box).
- Many people use Rindabotn as a starting point for hiking in summer and autumn. But it's a well-known problem that one's feet can quickly become a little blistered when crossing the moors above Stedjekamben, towards what we call the Raude Kors checkout," says Per Odd Grevsnes, day-to-day manager of SSD.
It's quick and easy to cross the tree line from Rindabotn, and you don't have to trudge up the steepest slopes to get to the top, so the area is a much-used hiking area for people who want views and the good feeling of the mountains.
Terje Thorsnes at Sognehus AS - Boligpartner Sogndal, uses the area a lot himself, and has experienced the problem.
- I have to be honest and say that, especially when hiking with small children, it can sometimes be a little sad over the marshes. With the cloverleaf path, we hope to create even better conditions for a better hiking experience.
Sognehus together with Neumann Kaupanger are responsible for the materials used. And now the ski center is calling for volunteers to get it all in place.
- We invite you to join us on September 2. It will be a somewhat physical event, which is a good substitute for today's training trip. We need help to carry the plans into place, and we need help to put them together.
Bring work gloves and good footwear. Nice and if you can bring forest clearing equipment if you have such. td grazing shears. For those with motorized equipment, HSE rules must be followed. Kim Andre may check this in advance," says Per Odd, who adds:
- We start with a slice of pizza at 16:30 before leaving at 17:00. I therefore need to know who is coming a few days in advance. We encourage everyone who wants to contribute to get in touch in advance. Feel free to send me a message if you're coming, so I know how many pizzas I need to order. email: per-odd@hodlekve.no
The hiking trail from Rindabotn up towards Rysete is a good starting point if you want an alternative and slower route to Blåfjell. If you want to go up to Hedleberget and enjoy the view of Fjærlandsete, this is the best route. Furthermore, if you want to go over to Leikanger and Njøsadalen or Øvstedalen, the path over Rysete is the best starting point.
Sogndal Skisenter is also collaborating with DNT Sogndal to mark out hiking trails and get them included on DNT's national hiking maps. This will encourage even more people to go hiking while waiting for a new winter and snow.
Per Odd Grevsnes is ready with the planks that will be carried to the mountains and create a dry hiking trail towards Ryssete.
