Memurubu - Gjendebu via Bukkelægre
Duration: approx. 5 hours The hike starts at Memurubu, where you cross the bridge over the Muru river. From there, you begin a steep ascent up towards Bukkelægret. Follow the marked trail at all times – there is only one way up, and at the most exposed sections, you'll find chains to hold on to for extra safety. Once you reach the plateau, you continue along a stunning ridge with wide views of the surrounding mountains. At two trail crossings, keep left both times, following signs towards Gjendebu. This option goes steep down again to the lake and is only recommended in case of clear weather. Otherwise, we recommend you taking the other option to Storådalen. When you reach the lake, the trail flattens out and continues with easy walking for about 2 kilometers along the shore of the turquoise Gjende Lake, before reaching your destination at Gjendebu.
