Will go from the Smuksjøseter and the path up past Steinbuhøe and continue to the gorge down in Bråksdalen.

Then go down the Brådalen and follow the Brådalsbekken right down to Peer Gynt Cottage. Will then go to Smuksjøseter.

2_Have passed by Steinbuhøe lying on his left hand and watching the stream at the snow field that goes down to the gorge in the Vesledalen.

3_Looking back on the trail I came. There will be 2 people after me. Looks Steinbuhøe on the left side of the trail. Used 2 hours here.

5_Looking down in the gorge. It's pretty steep down here and I'll down approx. 200m.

6_Here it looks completely flat, but it's not.

8_Look back. There is not much water in the creek here.

9_Pretty OK to go down here.

11_Looking back where I came down. A see there is some red mark here, but there is no marked path down here.

12_Now it turns left again.

14_ Now one can look completely down. Have taken it very quiet down here.

15_Look back.

17_Now it's just 10-12m again. Have spent 3 hours here.

18_Here, Bråksdalen begins. Shall go here.

20_ Look back. There is not much water in the Bråkbekken.

21_Look back.

23_ Here I go along the stream over there. It's pretty good to go here.

24_Look back

26_ Will go right down by the pelvis here.

27_Look back. Here it was fine.

29_ Here the path goes right on the vertical side of the pelvis. It was approx. 10-15 meters down to the creek. Had to keep the tongue right in the mouth here.

30_Here the path goes up under the mountain truck here.

32_ Look back. Here I could have gone over the pelvis and taken a shortcut directly back to the Smuksjøseter.

33_The valley has become broader. Than the trail looks on the other side of the Bråkbekken. This is a shortcut directly to Smuksjøseter.

35_ Here I tried to get over the pelvis, but the stones were very slippery. Didn't want to wade.

36_It started to get some threatening clouds.

38_ Here, the valley swings south.

39_Have come to the Peer Gynt cottage. Have spent 6 hours and 40 minutes here.

41_Now it begins to rain.

42_Here, the bridge at the Peer Gynt cottage runs over the Brådalbekken. It begins to rain more and more, and it will be a very rainy way on the way to Smuksjøseter.
