The way home

Full route over the trip:

Got homesick. The plan was to go to Geiranger after Gjende, but I changed my mind and went home instead. Happy about the hike to Galdhøpiggen, but not for the weater. Know how it is to get to the top now, and can easiely taka another trip there some other day in better weather. It is an easy hike from Juvasshytta. The hike over Besseggen was amazing, and not as hard or scary that I expected, very very happy about it.  Since I stayed at cabins and had all my meals there it become quite expencive, tenting and making the food yourself is a cheaper option. At Galdhøpiggen is it possible to stay at a comping down in Bøverdalen or Lom, later in the summer also up by Juvasshytta. In the Gjende area is it several camping options, and also a lot of possibilitys for freecamping.

Drove back home over Valdresflya, Golsfjellet and Hardangervidda via Hardanger and back down home to Stavanger. A 9,5 hour drive with a few shorts stop on  the way. One was by the tallest waterfall in Norway, Vøringsfossen, at the top of Måbødalen.
