Høgevarde, a breathtaking 1459m peak in Eggedal municipality, Viken county, Norway, is a popular destination for both hiking and backpacking. During the warmer months from June to October, the 7.1-mile loop trail will reward experienced hikers with its stunning views of the Jonsknuten peaks in the south and Gaustatoppen in the west. Although the route requires some stamina to conquer the steep incline, visitors--from beginners to experienced trekkers--will find this challenging hike incredibly rewarding when they reach the top. Along the way, they might come across wildflowers, rock formations, and free-roaming deer. Added bonus: this awe-inspiring summit is located less than two hours away from Oslo so that your post-trekker adventures can continue even after you're done with the hike.
