The adminitrators have made such nice wooden signs to use at the start of each route.


It has become quite normal to see snakes along our route. Fortunately I am not afraid but my walking buddy is not too happy about it. In Norway we only have 1 poisonous snake. Hoggormen (Vipera berus) but the most common "snake" is not really a snake but a lizard without legs: Stålorm Anguis fragilis (worm of steel) . I think all those we have seen this far is the last variation. Cats enjoy catching and eating these so probably a cat has killed and dragged the leftovers into the path here.






Here I am pointing towards Viksheia, the first top we did.



As usual the signing of the book in the mailbox is the high point of the trip hehehe.

I have never in my whole life touched either a snake or a gekko or any other reptile. The sensation was very much not what I expected. Both were stunningly beautiful creature which I was allowed to visit and touch today.
