June 26, 2023,Tesse in Jotunheimen

Today we go to the realm of the giants (Jotunheimen) around Lake Tesse. A stony path in places on the east bank that can only be mastered with a touring bike in push mode. To make up for it, all the rest is a glorious hike up to the tree line. The refreshment stop in Brimisæter is ideally located halfway.
