Eidså – 4H Cabin, route 18

This easy and family-friendly hiking trail will take you to the cabin which was built by volunteers of the Vårbrus 4H organisation in 1974. On the site where the 4H cabin is built, there used to be a cabin for milk carriers where they could stay overnight. Everyone is welcome to visit the 4H cabin which is a perfect trail destination for those who do not want to walk very long. But you can also use the 4H cabin as the first stop on your way further to Ringefjellet, Svartetua or Taksetnakken. The cabin is located in a popular hiking area. The first section of the trail follows a cart track, and the remaining part is a good-quality path.

You will walk along the cart track or prepared path all the way up to the 4H cabin, and route finding will not be a problem. The lower part of the trail has a solid and dry surface, but it becomes slightly more varied as you walk further up. The starting point of the trail is signposted.

To find the beginning of the path, drive from Eidså and turn in the direction of Syvde at the junction of national roads 62 and 651. Turn right after 500 metres and follow the old national road. Drive for about 400 metres until you reach Mesta’s road station. Just before the road station, you will see a sharp turn to the right up a relatively steep hill and the first signs pointing to Taksetnakken. It is often difficult to park your car at the starting point of the trail, so you can park by the road station instead and walk the remaining 300 metres up to the start.
