The great Nærøyfjord tour - day 1 Map

This route takes you to the edge of the Nærøy walley and along the Nærøyfjord. It is a two day tour from Stalheim to Undredal. Several detours to find the best downhills and the most spectacular viewpoints! Overnight stay at Grindaflet mountain hut. The hut is placed on the flat Grindaflyane area. It marks a complete contrast from the terrain you have been traversing during the day, along the edges of the clifs!
