Start of the Buarbreen Glacier Trail

Highlight • Trail

Great hike to the Buarbreen glacier zoom. Sure-footedness and good hiking boots recommended. Parts must be overcome with existing thick ropes and suspension bridge. Asphaltierter parking lot without toilets for 150 NK only with credit card to pay. The unpaved road to the parking lot leads up the river and would be a nice hike from height Odda Camping with 80 minutes.

Steep Path with Sheep in Buer Landscape Conservation Area

Highlight • Trail

Very steep mountain path with obstacles, sheep live on the slope and they feel very comfortable on the path. Some are also quite curious and do not shy away from physical contact.

View of Buer Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view on the glacier is incredible. As soon as you have reached the height after the steep, sweaty hike in the continuous ascent, you have a view of the glacier that gives you an idea of how big it actually is. The crevasses are so clearly visible, everything seems so close, and you can hardly tear yourself away from the sight.
