Bjørgefjellet 895m asl
Bjørgefjell is an 895m asl mountain, part of Lifjell massif, rised up above town of Seljord and Seljordsvatnet Lake. During summer months hike on that hill could be pleasant but demanding trip and maybe one day I will have to chance to try it. Now, in the middle of March, climbing on it is a challenging expedition.

Indeed, for most of tourists, these names are almost synonymous with Norway. They are a must-see for anyone visiting the country of the fjords.

It is a country with a rich history and traditions. With thousands of local paths and routes, on which we can often be alone and during the…

Skorve
Seljord is a beautiful small town situated between the mountains in the Telemark area. Long up to 15 km lake Seljordsvatnet supposedly hides a sea monster, cousin of Lessie from the Scottish Loch Ness. You can get to Seljord by the E134 road, crossing town from east to west or by road 36 from eastern south. To the east of the town center are two mountain ranges: Mælefjell and Lifjell.

Goalof my trip was to climb…
