Heimre Einarsknuten, 751m Map

This hike does not follow a path at all, it's immensely steep, and the vegetation is very thick in the lower parts. Be aware of slippery rocks and roots, moss, holes in the ground, and steep ledges. You should also keep an eye out for moose and elk. To make it easier in the beginning, you could use the tractor road north west of my starting point.
