At last, after many years in Norway, me and my hubby climbed this mountain to see the famous" Pelkusstein"
Pelkussteinen is clearly visible from the county road 231. Flat terrain at first, steep with boulders on the final leg.
Pelkussteinen is a large rock located in Rusasetfjellet, and it is named after the farmer Pelkus from Opphaug who fled here. The legend says that Pelkus killed his neighbor after a prolonged dispute and disagreement. He was put under arrest in Austråttborgen, but managed to escape one winter night, and fled towards the huge boulder, before he fled over to Sweden.
Come along and I will show you the way:)
These flowers decorated the path
These flowers decorated the path
But every forest is hiding something like these:
An old abandoned hut......
Scary?
Good thing that I was not alone....
Hope you won't give up. We are getting nearer...
Just a few boulders away....
Don't forget to enjoy the trail....
Reminds me of something.....
Closer shot...
Well, it was too heavy, better to take some rest....
and enjoy the scenery
Saying goodbye with this picure taken after descending down the mountain. It is colder here

Under the rock where Pelkus had hidden.
I don't think this is a place for me....
Maybe, if I just can remove this big rock...
