About the hike
This roundtrip, marked in blue and signposted as Tretopper´n, ensures easy navigation with maps at each junction. Commencing at the west end of Jønnbu's parking lot, follow the main trail towards Lifjell. At the first junction, head west to Anebunatten. Upon reaching Grostulbekken, decide whether to continue towards Anebunatten or opt for a shortcut up to Krintofjellet through the narrow river course, offering a more exhilarating and slightly challenging hike.
At the pinnacle of Anebudalen, turn left and trace the trail to Anebunatten, standing at 878 meters above sea level. From there, loop back to the trail junction and ascend Krintofjellet, reaching 923 meters above sea level, where a viewpoint awaits.
Descend from Krintofjellet to the summit of the steep Krintokleiva. Follow the path straight ahead, ascending steeply to the highest peak, Bøkstulnatten, at 928 meters above sea level. Descend the steep slope to the "Bestemorssløyfa" picnic area. Proceed down Bestemorsløyfa and follow the trail back to Jønnbu's parking lot.
Feel free to traverse the Tretopper´n route in both directions. For families with small children, consider heading straight at the first junction and entering "Bestemorssløyfa" with a designated picnic area. Explore "Bestemorssløyfa" and the trail leading up to Krintofjellet. Tailor the hike to one or two peaks for a shorter journey, as the mountain experience remains delightful regardless of the number of peaks visited.
