Guided Hike - Ørnenipa
Start your day with a refreshing mountain hike and a breakfast you won't soon forget, served on a picnic blanket with a panoramic view of all of Telemark!The hike starts with a shuttle from Gaustablikk Fjellresort to Vatnedalen, and from there the hike goes up to Ørnenipa, a spectacular viewpoint at 1333 masl.From Ørnenipa you have views of Gaustatoppen, Rjukan, Vestfjorddalen, Austbygde, Blefjell, Tinnsjøen, and even Jonsknuten in Kongsberg on clear days.The hike goes through easy forest terrain and has a steady and nice climb until the last 150 meters, when you have also crossed the tree line and the trail becomes somewhat steeper and more rocky. The trail can be demanding in some places, so sturdy hiking shoes with good ankle support are recommended.At the top we enjoy a picnic breakfast provided by Bakeriet, served on a picnic blanket. This is a nature experience for those who are fresh in the morning and want to start the day with a good hiking companion.After breakfast we take a slightly different route back, where we walk along Langetjønn and through the forest all the way down to the hotel.
