Blåheia
0
Leave the main road at Hysnes and you can take a nice path through some marshy terrain before the ascent up to Blåheia which stands at 392 metres above sea level. Take time for a short geography lesson at the cairn. You are looking out over the fjord towards Trondheim and the distinctive Gråkallen. Turn around and you can see the characteristic mountain Kopparen in Bjugn, the islands of Storfosna, Kråkvåg, Hitra and Tarva and the fantastic coastline with many small islets and reefs. Agdenes lighthouse lies at the inlet to the Trondheim fjord. Follow the fjord and to the left you can see part of Rissa and the Fosen shipyard, buildings, and the saltwater lake Botn which is a twinkling pearl in the landscape. Now you will understand why Blåheia is a favourite hiking destination. Here by the Cairn, you can find a well-equipped shelter which will definitely entice you to take a break. However, when you start your decent make sure you follow the path and markings. A few years ago, there were 3 girls who took the wrong path and had to be rescued from a ledge: luckily, they were fine. When you come down the gravel path, you will see two rather large chairs to the right of the path. Take a rest in one of the chairs and wonder if you would really want to come across someone in need of such a large chair. God tur!
