Hanguren to Vådalseggi 950

ByZayera

This hike I started with taking the Voss Gondola upp to Hanguren 818 meters. I followed the trails towards Lonahorgi until 950 meters. The trails had snow so I stopped there and almost spent an hour enjoying the views, had lunch and talked on the phone with my family and showing them the views as well. The temperature got warmer as the sun shone stronger in the afternoon. I enjoyed the hike, and in total went about 200 meters up, 300 meters down and 300 meters up again. I took the Gondola down to Voss center.

For the first time I also had Kvikklunsj which is a “kexchoklad” a biscuit chocolate and it tasted very good. I might have a new addiction now and will take this on my longer hike. Inside the packaging are rules and etiquettes about how to behave in the mountains.
