Friday: This would be a transport day, no hiking.

After breakfast, we checked out of the Gaustablikk resort, happy about our stay and the outdoor activities.

We then drove to Geilo, where we had a break for various shopping.

From Geilo, we drove to Toviki, at the end of lake Stolsvatnet, on a toll road. When we passed the toll gate at Rødungen, we called Iungsdalshytta and asked to be picked up by their boat.

Normally, the 4 km hike from Toviki to Iungsdalshytta would not have been a problem, even with a heavy backpack, but we were both struggling with emerging inflammations – Anne’s heel and my knee – and with my heavy backpack, I was worried that this would have a negative impact on our planned hikes.

After parking, we headed towards the pier.

The NOK 300,- boat ride was practical and pleasant. We had a nice chat with skipper Oskar.
