(5) Continue straight ahead at the crossroads.

(6) Turn right at the fork onto the road going up to the lake and join it.

(7) Leave the lake and take the path straight ahead, then turn left.

(8) Turn left at the T-junction and continue along the path up to the first peak.

(9) Go left to reach Geitfjellet.

(10) Return to the previous intersection.

(9) On the way back, take the path straight ahead.

(11) Stop at Våttakammen, then continue along the same path for about 100 metres.

(12) Take the road going uphill on the left.
