The hike starts off very well, but after about 5.8 km, the supposed "hiking trail" listed by Komoot ends. We had to walk completely through the undergrowth and almost broke our feet. The route is completely outdated.

A great starting point to start a tour. You can also park your car here for several days. There is even the option to take a shower, but it costs 75 krone.

The Mefjellet rest area is located right on top of Storevasskrysset. From here you have a fantastic view of Fanaråken and the surrounding mountains. The stone sculpture (1997) by Knut Wold is a popular photo motif in the midst of a picturesque mountain landscape.

A memorial at the Mefjellet rest stop commemorates a tragedy in 1812 that is recorded in the church records of Lom: In March 1812, six men from Lom rode towards Luster to fetch barley flour because the harvest had been bad. When a terrible storm broke over the riders, they didn't stand a chance and all died.
