From the top of the funicular, walk up to the junction and follow the signposts leading to Brushytten cabin. Immediately before arriving at Brushytten, turn left and follow Skogmester Mos vei north, following the signposts to Munkebotn and Storediket. The lake is wonderfully calm and peaceful in good weather.
Continue across the dam and follow the track down to Nedrediket lake. This track was upgraded in 2010 and provides easy access on gravel with good ditches and charming granite walls. You couldn’t find a more perfect place for a stroll with young children in a pram.
Continue uphill through the pine forest which is typical vegetation of this area. At the junction, take the route towards Aasebu shelter which you can see 100 metres ahead, towards the right. Aasebu is the perfect place for a break and a picnic. There’s nothing better than opening your packed lunch and quenching your thirst after a good walk.
To walk back, return from Aasebu to the track and turn right on Halfdan Griegs vei down to Blåmansveien, where you take the right path and follow the signposts back to the starting point. Let the fresh mountain air blow away the cobwebs, and return refreshed and fully relaxed.
