Stones and water and an antler?!

Since we are already in the land of the ice giants, we naturally wanted to go hiking here. Originally, we had planned to hike the highly visited pass between two lakes at different heights. However, we decided against it because it was supposed to take about eight hours and it was going to rain. Instead, we hiked to the one lake (#Bessvatnet). Along the Bessa and its numerous loud waterfalls, we climbed the mountain. And we can now say that it is also very warm at these heights.

Despite or perhaps because of the clouds, it was a very impressive tour.

For overnight stay, we chose another point on one of the scenic routes: Ridderspranget. And as you can see from the pictures, it didn't rain, of course...

There is also a legend that first appears quite beautiful: The knight Sigvat, an advisor to the then king, received a letter from a fair beauty. She wrote that she was to marry the knight Eldjarn against her will. Immediately, Sigvat rushed to the aid of the fair lady and stole the bride from the other knight. After a long chase through the forests of Tessanden, he bravely jumped over the aforementioned gorge with his entourage and the beauty. Sigvat and Eldjarn stood face to face. Then Sigvat (apparently without batting an eyelid) pushed one of his men off the cliff and said to Eldjarn wordlessly: This is what will happen to you if you follow me. Well, that's pretty cruel. "But he saved the fair lady!"... Well, I would say that was more selfishness than a good deed. But since none of us were there, we can only speculate. It's beautiful there, even without the legend.
