Even though I was the only one booked for the day, he still agreed to go ahead with the tour, which I really appreciated.

“Wonderful day trip without the crowds! A couple of preparation notes: Bring proper hiking boots with good grip on the soles. This hike is not a nature stroll. Hiker must be comfortable with rocky and uneven footing. Also must be comfortable with inclines and descents over stone using the chains and ladders provided on the trail. Don't stop at the beautiful falls! Keep going to the Mån farm; it's picture perfect! The hearty Norwegian lunch I ordered (meat patties with potatoes, carrots, and lingonberry jam) is perfect after the hike (the other options on the menu, including gluten-free options, were also tempting). The candle factory and the grounds are very…”
