The Munkebu mountain huts
This is a walk towards the Munkebu mountain huts. The route begins by crossing a rocky hill. The path becomes visible once you’ve passed this rocky start. There are a few marshy sections as well as some steep and slippery sections, though these are secured by chains. There are no markings, but there are cairns at points where you might be unsure of the way. The alternative route back is really good: it takes you across a grassy plateau before a steep descent.
