You can plan your stay around different interests: with a hike to the summit or with outdoor activities around Ervikane.

Circular Walk over Hjortåsen

The circular walk starts in Nordstrøno and runs over Hjortåsen and Ervikane; it climbs to the summit of Hjortåsen. From Ervikane, it leads back to the starting point in Nordstrøno. The section before Ervikane passes through forest and scrub, across marshland, and along a forest path. When choosing your route, you can consider two aspects together: the summit as a destination and the different types of terrain along the way. If you choose a hike based on both its destination and the surroundings along the route, both aspects matter here.
