Idyllic day trip to Svortetjodn
The idyllic mountain lake Svortetjødn is beautifully located in the high mountain terrain and invites you to a refreshing dip on warm summer days.
- If you start from Myrkdalen Hotel, the hike is 7.2 kilometres. Walk past Myrkdalsstovo and follow the gravel road for 600 meters to Helgatun.
- Follow the path uphill for 1.1 kilometres to the trail junction. Turn right and walk 300 meters uphill to Vetlebotn and the start of the Kari Traa range.
- Walk up the gravel road for 2.2 kilometres and turn right 50 meters before you reach the top station of the Storhaug Express.
- Walk along a small pond before turning left. Cross both riverbeds and follow the sheep track/path on the right side of the river down to Mørkvestølen.
- From the mountain farm, head northwest up the valley. After about 1.2 km, it levels out a bit. Turn left and into the idyllic Svortetjødn.
