Sauafjellet (539 m) from Hausdalen

Sauafjellet is located at the very bottom of Brekkedalen on the border with Samnanger.  

Go to the end of the parking lot and follow the road to the right over the bridge. The road runs through beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains on all sides. You walk along a river where you cross several bridges. Follow the road all the way up to Brekken (about 5 km). Here you will see some signs on the left. Follow the road to the left through Brekkedalen towards Store Brekkevatnet. Just where the water is widest you will see a large rock standing all alone on the left side (picture 5). Go past this and turn right up towards Sauafjellet. Walk through the forest and the rocky terrain. There is no path here, and it is quite steep, but you will soon cross the tree line and the terrain becomes more open. Walk east and north-east where the terrain seems most suitable. The road is marked with small stone cairns. The cairn is located quite a Distance into the mountain plateau, so you have to climb a little higher before you see it from a Distance .

At the top you will see the very back of the Gullfjellsplatået and Søre Gullfjellstoppen. You will see the mighty Purkedalsgjelet and Kofta (921 m.) which is part of Gullfjell. You also get a great view south towards Svinningen.

Have a good trip!
