New Bridge Over the River

Highlight • Bridge

The way from Gjendesheim to Bessheim can now be walked completely away from the road. In some cases, especially before and after the new bridge, he has not yet stepped out. But it is completely marked.

Besseggen Rapids

Highlight • River

From the wooden bridge that crosses the stream, you can admire both the crystal-clear color of the torrent's waters and its power. A stop like an entrance into the wild world.

View of Lake Gjende

Highlight • Viewpoint

Above the Gjendesheim refuge, on the paths that connect the Gjende and Bessvatnet lakes, the panoramas are grandiose.

No matter the season, you will never be disappointed by the colors that adorn the landscape.
