Hiking along the fjord to Stokko from Undredal

This is a nice local hike along the Aurlandsfjord, starting in the small village of Undredal in Aurland.

The walk starts at the visitor parking lot (Pottefot) on the right side of the main road, just after the bus stop and just before you get down to the village center. Follow Undredalsvegen down towards the center. At the main intersection, turn left towards the church. Continue on the paved road past the church and through several farmyards in a northerly direction. The road goes up the slope along the fjord for a while.

When you reach the end of the road, you will see a sign. Go through the gate, and from here the walk continues on the path along the fjord. In practice, you just follow the path all the way to Stokko.

The path runs for about 2 kilometers along the fjord. First you pass old hay meadows, before the path climbs steeply up over rocky terrain and through an area of ​​exposed rock. Then you enter new open cultural landscapes. In some places, railings have been set up, but it is a good idea to watch where you put your feet, since the terrain in several places drops steeply down towards the fjord.

This is an exciting trail through beautiful scenery, with panoramic views of the Aurlandsfjord and the surrounding mountains. When you reach Stokko, the trail ends. Here there is a small building with an outdoor toilet and a mailbox where you can sign in. There is also a cabin at the end of the trail, but this is private.

Up on the mountainside, on the same side as the trail, you can see the mountain farm Stigen. To get there you need a boat.

The return trip goes the same way back.
