The trail at a glance

This trail goes through incredibly beautiful natural surroundings with the areas of heather, lakes, and mountain landscape. There are nice rest areas and fishing spots along the way. You can buy a fishing licence at the local sports shop in the centre of Tingvoll Municipality. 

Route description

From the car park, follow the signs and walk south facing the mountains. Lake Herredsdalsvatnet will become visible at some point along the way.
