Highlight • Gorge

Caution when climbing through Mørgonga, especially with regard to scree. There is an acute danger of rockfall for hikers scrambling over a rock or for oncoming traffic.

Highlight • Lake

There is also a swing on the old tree, but it won't be able to bear any weight anymore 🤭

Rising 682 meters above sea level, Gyrihaugen rewards hikers with one of the best panoramic views in the Ringerike region. From the summit, you can see Steinsfjorden, the rolling forests of Nordmarka, and even the distant mountains on clear days.

View of Krokstua Cabin

Highlight • Viewpoint

This beautiful (private) hut offers outstanding views halfway up Gyrihaugen. It'll whet your appetite and provide you with strength for the final meters to the summit.
