| We leave at 8.00pm for Mount Esja but the time of departure can be negotiable. We drive for 20-30 minutes and start walking. We take it nice and easy on the way up the mountain with many breaks to listen to information and stories from the guide. On top of the mountain we sign our names in the visitors' book and take a nice break for refreshments and stories. After a short break we head down again. |

My guide knew exactly what to do. We stopped a few times as she told us about the landscape below, and the plants and trees in the area. She regaled us with stories of the early settlers in the area, of the hidden people, and many other tidbits that made the hike amusing.
