Hjerkinn Fjilstue to Mosli Heberge
Cost: 350 with breakfast
It is 8:37 pm with a projected sunset of 11:37 on June 20 and I am sitting in bed watching the cows grazing on a steep hill outside my window. What a perfect midsummer scene.
The field outside my room
Today was easy with a train ride from Hjerkinn to Bark shad (sp) and then a 7.5 mile walk first through town and then on a forest path next to the river. There were massive rock formations and a few little fairie dwellings....rocks covered with moss, with little places for the faeries or gnomes to live in.
We also passed two open-air furnished huts. It is hard to understand how these could survive a harsh winter, but were happy to know that if we lost our way, we’d have an open-air bed to sleep in. Note the moose head and the grass roof.
Our lodging is another traditional farm building with beds upstairs...actually it takes a ladder to get upstairs. We have electricity but the water and showers and bathrooms are elsewhere. I found a sweet little room with a view of the cow pastures..very Heidi-esque in the loft upstairs and am loving it. Too much maybe, how can I sleep after too little walking and a room of my own?
