At this point you decide whether you want to take the risk of a dead end. No crossing possible if there is too much water. But the path and the views are still worth it. 😉

Great waterfall / path which is also good to do with kids. Beautiful forest. Very impressive after heavy rainfall.

This suspension bridge spans the Russa, a turbulent river that pours the waters of the Russvatnet into the neighboring valleys. The bridge, recent and very well made, is passable all year round.

Russvatnet is one of the most imposing lakes in Jotunheimen National Park. Bordered by numerous hiking routes, it is also populated by a few wooden huts which serve as refuges for shepherds in the summer pastures.
