Description:
From Hompland, 7 km north of Tonstad, there will be many paths up the mountain, west of the valley. To Steindalsknuten it will be a 6,3 km walk from the road if starting south of Hompland by the river Hemså. From there, walk over a pasture and up an old road, arriving on a tractor road leading to Steian. Take the left turn as you proceed up the dirt road until you see a sign from the road and inwards on the path from the eastern side of Øvre Løynatjønn. Here you will pass a bog before heading up to Heimrestøl. From here the landscape will open up towards Slettheia. From here, continue up Grønheia towards Steindalsknuten taking the path to Falkeknuten which splits from the path, around 800 meter before Steindalsknuten, continuing 3,5 km onwards over Klovsteinheia and over the mountain ridge up towards Falkeknuten.
