This time I took the steeper more or less trail (more like sheep footpath) up to the plateau. It's steeper than the other approach but it's an easy climb with beautiful view looking back into the valley where the Candle Factory and Farm is located. Every now and again I looked back and took in the vista.
It took probably a total of 30-45mins to reach the plateau at 530m. From here you can see clearly Maudal and Byrkjedal valley below. Most of the higher peaks are around 700m + beyond the plateau. A 10 hour trail makes a loop back to the parking lot (at 400m) peaking at 850m +. It's mostly rocky trails at this height with trees only thriving aound 500m and below.
The sky roundabouts 1500hrs with temperatures peaking at14deg C with a constant gentle breeze.
This site could be a nice spot for an overnight Milkyway session come August. I shot Milkyway here before several summers ago but that was just around the parking lot below. An overniter might be worth it except for the steep climb (considering 2 tripods, star tracker, sleeping bag and camera gear).
