STAGE 2
Skåpet – Flørli
Follow the historic “Svenskaveien” (Swedish Road) through scree fields and wild valleys. This stage offers lots of varied nature and will lead you from higher elevation back to the tree line, all the way down to the Lysefjord and idyllic Flørli. In the roadless hamlet of Flørli you will find many traces of the vacated hydropower village infrastructure, established 100 years ago. Learn about the industrial history, enjoy nature and recharge for the ascent of the Flørli stairs (next stage).
We recommend to hike the Lysefjorden Rundt Trail anti-clockwise. The information on this page is based on hiking west-east. However, it is possible to hike this stage in both directions.
On ut.no, Norway’s hiking planner, you’ll find detailed trail information. Use digital maps for navigation, and searching for cabins and hikes all over the country. Ut.no is a services offered to the public by the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT).
