From the wooden bridge that crosses the stream, you can admire both the crystal-clear color of the torrent's waters and its power. A stop like an entrance into the wild world.

At 5,718 feet (1,743 m), Veslfjellet is the highest point on the famous Besseggen Ridge. In contrast to some of the narrower sections on the route, the summit is relatively broad but the views are still spectacular.
