Moderately demanding hike 5.9 km 3 hours, 30 minutes The trip goes one way, from A-B 419 meters in height in total Season: Apr - Oct

Gygrestolen is a unique and wonderful hiking experience located in Bø i Telemark, Norway. This 7km hike to the remarkable rock formation of Gygrestolen is quite challenging, as it follows an uphill route full of roots, rocks, boulder fields and dense forests. The final part of the trail offers visitors a stunning view of the clock tower as well as an amazing landscape of both natural and cultural features. Along the way, adventurers will also get the chance to take a break at the wondrous Svarttjønn pond, with its two-story cave, or rest in the lake Venetjønn’s refreshing waters. The incredible hike to the legendary "Gygrestolen" promises a fun and rewarding outdoor experience!
