A hidden gem in the western part of Norway. The hike goes from Rabben in Isfjorden through beautiful mountain scenery, over Hoemskaret, before going all the way down to Eikesdalsvatnet and the DNT cabin Hoemsbu. Here you can either sleep over at the cabin or take the local boat across the lake to continue the hike on the other side.
