Difficulties of the hike
More than 75 % of the climb is on the old postal road, Den Trondhjemske Postveg. This wide, well-marked trail gently winds uphill to the remains of the Ljøsætra mountain pasture.
The final 100 meters of elevation gain are on a mountain trail, clearly indicated by a sign at the intersection with the postal road.
