Kalsethola

Kalsethola is an amazing viewing point that offers a view towards the centre of Volda Municipality. It is equipped with benches, a barbecue place, and a swing. A star is lit up just above Kalsethola in early December, which makes it an extra popular hiking destination this time of the year. 

Start walking from the car park next to the Rotsethorn Tunnel. A gravel-surfaced hiking trail begins at the eastern end of the car park. Walk up the hill. After walking through the gate, turn right (follow the sign) and continue up towards Kalsethola. The trail goes over the entrance to the tunnel. On your way back, you can choose to follow the same route or walk further down towards Lake Rotevatnet instead of turning back down to the starting point (at the gate). This will make your hike slightly longer. The forest on your way down to Lake Rotevatnet is cut down, so you will clearly see where to go. When you come down onto the road around Lake Rotevatnet, turn left and walk through a gate. Follow the road west for about 350 m and take the first left turn up to the starting point. You can also turn right after about 150 m. You will then come to the Volda Stadium/Stadium Park (Stadionparken), and you can walk further down the Elvadalen Valley or go to the Årneset swimming area.   Please remember to close all the gates behind you! Some sheep are grazing in the area.

Drive along E39 from the centre of Volda towards Stryn. The trail starts just before the Rotsethorn Tunnel. There is plenty of space to park your car there.
