The trail at a glance

Torsethornet is a mountain peak east of Veten with a scenic view over the Rovdefjord and the mountains of Vanylven. The Larsnes Sports Association (Larsnes IL) has a trail post on Torsethornet.

Route description

Start by walking across the playground in Slettestøl. The path begins from the westernmost corner of the playground. You will also see a tractor road which you should not follow. Instead, walk along the path that goes straight up through the forest from the turn of the tractor road. Follow the path as it zigzags through the dense forest. Walk west and then north. After the forest, continue along the path as it takes you over the marshes. When you reach the plateau before Lake Nyksvatnet, turn right about 50 m before the sign pointing to Veten. Follow the path east over some marshes until you reach the top of Torsethornet. The path is solid under foot but can be slippery over the marshy areas. From Torsethornet, the path continues west to Veten and north to Keipen.
