Geocache Description:

Gjendesheim and Besseggen are a 'must' for mountain walkers in Norway. Pick up a Geocache while staying over at DNT's serviced lodge, before or at the end of you Jotunheimen walking experience. Easy find for all the family.


Mellomstor vanntett (forhåpentlig) boks. 

Som selve flaggskipet blant DNTs hytter ligger Gjendesheim vakkert plassert ved en av de viktigste innfallsportene til den østlige delen av Jotunheimen.

Dei fleste kjem til Gjendesheim for å gå Besseggen. Og det er ikkje rart; Besseggen er ei spesiell turoppleving - spennande, mektig, storslått natur. Den er lett tilgjengeleg, kjent og populær, og svært mange går denne turen i høgsesongen. Men det er nok dagar i året til at du også kan finne dagar der du kan vandre i einsam majestet.

Medium-sized (hopefully) waterproof box.

Gjendesheim, the flagship of DNT lodges, lies beautifully nestled at the east end of Lake Gjende, one of the principal gateways to this part of the Jotunheimen. Most hikers come to Gjendesheim to hike over the Besseggen ridge. That's not odd, as Besseggen is a unique hiking experience, an exposed though safely hiked knife ridge between two mountain lakes. It's easily accessible and one of the more popular hikes in Jotunheimen in the summer high season. But there also are days that you can hike it in solitude. Moreover, the area around Gjendesheim offers many other attractive choices of summer hikes and winter ski tours.
